PRONUNCIATION MATERIALS
John levis and Sinem Sonsaat
INTRODUCTION
little attention until recently
early outlook by Grant (1995)
Increasing popularity
LITERATURE REVIEW
Materials development
sub-branch of language teaching methods
(Canniveng & Martinez, 2003)
a theoretical activity (Samuda, 2005)
stakeholders of materials development
(learners, teachers,
materials writers, researchers)
steps of materials development:
contextual realization, identification,
exploration, pedagogical realization,
and physical production
3 PRINCIPLES FOR DEVELOPING
PRONUNCIATION MATERIALS
I. INTELLIGIBILITY
Set of priorities to teach
Jenkins (2000) priorities: most vowel and consonant sound; only one suprasegmental unit (nuclear stress)
Derwing, Munro and Wiebe (1998) emphasizes
inclusion of both segmentals and suprasegmentals
RESEARCH INTO PRONUNCIATION
IN CURRENT ELT MATERIALS
II. INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SKILLS
Hinkel's (2006) 3 principles of teaching
1) in context and connected to speaking;
2) must serve communicative purposes;
3) must be based on realistic language
III. ADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS
Harwood (2010): PMs should be designed
for all teachers whose L1, level of experience,
training and confidence are different
Instead of just providing answers, TMs should give examples explaining the given feature in the exercise
12 intermediate level four-skills books from 3 publishing houses: CUP, OUP, and PL
PRINCIPLE 1. INTELLIGIBILTY
not include mostly difficult sounds (/r/, /w/ /i:/)
for varied L1 learners
intonation (10), word stress (9), sentence stress (8),
linking, and rhythm (6) are mostly included
reductions, schwa, strong and
weak forms are included less
Suprasegmental topics - over 60, whereas segmental
topics were around 10-15 in all the books
PRINCIPLE 2. INTEGRATION
taught as a sub-skill in most books
English Unlimited, Touchstone, New Headway,
New Cutting Edge - Pr grouped with Gr and Vocab
(under language input category)
two books put Pr with S and L
ONLY 3 books: English File, English Result
and Speak Out put Pr in separate category
visual representation of Pr is also needs attention
PRINCIPLE 3. SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS
English File, face2face, Touchstone-answers,
explanation of key concepts and rules
New Headway, English in Common - answers and some explanation (-ed -good, but was/were-not fully explained)
CONCLUSION
1)all books contributed to speakers' intelligibility
2) integration with other skills partially achieved
(mostly Gr and Vocab, speaking and listening)
3)TMs assume that all teachers are experienced,
well-trained and confident in pronunciation teaching
