SUMMARY:Teaching the Notes and Melodies: Incorporating Effective Pronunciation Instruction into EL Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: WED. 11/9/22 \nEnglish pronunciation is a challenge for teachers and learners alike! In order for learners to be able to add the features of English pronunciation to their speaking toolbox\, they need explicit instruction so that they can hear and produce the target sounds and rhythms.
