Recording learners’ pronunciation. This technique involves audio-recordings of learners’ speech, free conversations, role plays, tongue twisters, reading, etc. It is a very useful technique, which is time consuming, as the follow up listening takes a lot of time. It is valuable though to get a feedback on own pronunciation. However, it is suitable for older learners who can hear and analyse their own mistakes.
Visual aids. They are not a technique, but aids which help in teaching pronunciation of individual sounds. They can be pictures, sound-colour charts, mirrors, etc. Pictures of articulator, position of articulators in production of individual sounds, phonemic symbols could be used for description of how sounds are produced. Such pictures help especially adult learners to understand articulation of individual sounds. A mirror can be a very useful tool for a learner observing his/her own articulation of different sounds. Mirrors are useful with all age groups, adults understand the position of different articulators and make purposefully required position, and they can also bring fun for young learners to see the movement and position of their mouth and tongue.
Question:
1 . What techniques will we use?
2. What methods can I use to teach an effective lesson?
3. Should the lesson plan be informative, brief, and purposeful?
