Listening and repeating. In this technique, a teacher or recorded native speaker are set as models for imitating sounds. It is one of the most traditional ways of teaching pronunciation, but it can be made more interesting with using CDs, interactive boards, internet activities, etc. Pupils could also record themselves and listen to their own pronunciation. This technique is suitable for all ages from young learners to adults.
Drilling. It went out of fashion with introduction of the audio-lingual method, because it was associated with a repetitive approach. However, drills do not have to be mindless, as they can offer a chance to learners to practice saying new words and phrases without an extra strain of trying to communicate. This technique is very useful with beginners even though it is a strictly controlled activity. Drills can be practiced individually, in pairs or chorally. There can be repetition drills, transformation drills, substitution drills, chain drills.
