Designing pronunciation instruction for a specific group of learners
  1. When the instructor has the opportunity and flexibility to tailor instruction to a specific group of Learners, there are some steps to guide the teacher of pronunciation.
    1. Step one: find out who your learner's are and what they need
      1. Step two: find language that is relevant to your learners to use as practice material
        1. Step three: use these samples of authentic language to illustrate and practice specific pronunciation features
          1. Step four: provide frequent and sustained choral repetition with body movement
            1. Step five: give learners a chance to practice similar language in less-control activities
              1. Step six: record learner's speech for feedback and review
    2. Diagnostic evaluation
      1. Diagnostic evaluation of pronunciation is a means of determining a learner's level of proficiency usually for the purposes of screening or placement
        1. Diagnostic tests of listening discrimination should test learner's ability to distinguish both segmental and suprasegmental features
          1. Consonants and Vowels
            1. the teacher can use minimal pair discrimination exercises
            2. word Stress
              1. the teacher can ask Learners to choose the correct stress patterns for words or sentences in a text being read aloud
              2. Prominance
                1. these can be the same as the ones used for word stress
                2. Intonation
                  1. the learner could be asked to determine whether the utterance has final rising or falling intonation the learner could be asked to identify which intonation counter reflects what they hear
                  2. Reduced Speech
                    1. the teacher could use a cloze passage in which commonly reduced and unstressed words have been deleted
              3. Formal oral-proficiency testing instruments
                1. TOEFL IBT Speaking
                  1. International English Language Testing System
                    1. Versant or Phone Pass
                      1. Interagency Language Toundtable (ILR) Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) Rating Scale
                        1. American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Interview and ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines
                          1. UCLA Test of Oral Proficiency (TOP) for International Teaching Assistants
                          2. Ongoing Evaluation with Feedback
                            1. Purpose
                              1. Determine the progress of Students
                                1. Provide informal feedback individually
                                2. Self-monitoring and correction
                                  1. Self-monitor
                                    1. Self-correct
                                      1. Contract Learning
                                        1. Covert Rehearsal
                                        2. Peer Feedback
                                          1. Minimal pair work
                                          2. Teacher feedback and correction
                                          3. Classroom Testing
                                            1. Tests of perception
                                              1. Tests of production
                                                1. Tests of phonetic knowledge
