Go beyond phonemic symbols and become a more confident pronunciation teacher
From individual sounds to intonation and task design: what every teacher should be doing in order to teach pronunciation the right way
In your teaching practice, I’m sure you feel more confident about teaching grammar and vocabulary than teaching pronunciation. Am I right?
Now let me guess, you fear that you don’t have enough technical knowledge to help your students appropriately, you don’t trust your abilities with pronunciation, and you tend to avoid this topic in your lessons. Am I right again?
This is only the tip of the iceberg, because…
-
-
- you will keep pointing to symbols without knowing a more effective way to use them
- you will limit pronunciation teaching to the repetition of decontextualized isolated words
- you will fail to guide your students towards a clearer speech
- you will keep skipping pronunciation activities that come with the materials you currently use
-
That is the main reason why I created this completely practical course, and you will be able to deal with pronunciation more effectively in your classes.
You will go beyond working with individual sounds only and become a more confident pronunciation teacher!
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
How to recognize and work with phonemes
You will learn the basic terminology related to phonology, what organs are involved in the production of individual sounds, and you will have thorough work on consonant and vowel sounds.
How to work with suprasegmentals
Since pronunciation teaching is much more than pointing to sounds on a chart, you will also learn how to deal with word stress, rhythm, connected speech, sentence stress and intonation.
How to teach pronunciation
You will get samples of activities you can do in your own classes which will, in turn, help you design your own activities, focusing on the right feature every time.
WHAT ARE OTHER TEACHERS SAYING?
The workshop was productive and helpful. From the warm up til our exit ticket all the activities were thought/taught in a meaningful sequence. I’ve learned about phonetic symbols but also, rhythm, pronunciation and also how to teach pronunciation in our daily practice. You can be a total beginner with IPA, intonation and rhythm OR you can have some practice with it like me and in either way the workshop will be valuable and constructive. Ricardo created a safe space for teachers to learn and practice pronunciation. I had a great time learning from/with him!
It changed the way I view teaching pronunciation. Great for people like me, with little to no knowledge of phonemes, phonetics, etc. Highly interactive, we were presented with several opportunities to put our acquired knowledge in practice. The whole workshop is very organized and Ricardo conducts it with great passion, about the topic and working with other teachers. Definitely feel more confident with the use of phonemes as a tool for teaching pronunciation.
Ricardo is an amazing professional and a caring teacher. I had the opportunity to be his student for a weekend and had such a wonderful time! I learned a lot from him and from other teachers as well. I highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to achieve better results in their performance not only as an English teacher, but also as an English learner.
Ricardo’s courses are always amazing. He explains everything in an amazing way so even the most difficult topics became easy. The use of resources, such as Wordwall, makes the course even more fun. Thanks a lot, Ricardo, you’re extraordinary!
I haven’t studied anything for a very long time. Unfortunately the school I work is consuming all my time and I often feel exhausted. Saying so, being part of this workshop was AMAZING! I could have many insights about improving my teaching skills and also showed me how much I still have to learn. Plus, I haven’t felt tired or sleepy. Now, I’m not going to be away from class for too long again.
This workshop was very useful for me. I just started teaching English and all help is welcome, until that time I didn’t realize how important it is to learn the sounds, rhythm, accent, the phonetics and so on. Thank you very much for opening my eyes and teaching in an easy way to learn.
I am thankful for the opportunity of being in a course with such inspiring teachers, learning and sharing experiences! I can say I’m feeling more comfortable about my own pronunciation and definitely more inspired to help my students improve theirs.
Learning more about pronunciation with Ricardo is a pleasure! The workshop is fantastic! We were studying some concepts and we were putting it into practice, which gave me insights and many ideas about how to work with my students! Loved it!
