Teaching Pronunciation Second entry
By Johana G贸mez
Last class we expose some good activities that can be used in the classroom when teaching pronunciation. This is usually not an easy task, especially when the student has some previous bad habits pronouncing some words. I believe it is easy when you teach a student from scratch. Most of the activities were very creative and engaging, we had a lot of fun in the class and this is how it should be when you learn a language. I believe all my classmates did a very good job, they took their time to prepare every single detail, they probably will be really good teachers. In our case we prepare an activity that makes them move out of the chair, especially because of the class schedule we need them all awake and participating, I like the fact that the activity ask them to classify the words according to the sound so that makes them think fast and at the same time help you to asses if they learned the sounds. I love the focus this class has about teaching us how to put into practice all the knowledge about phonetic and pronunciation, most of us are new teachers and need all this activities and real life examples you always give us to teach them better.
