SUMMARY:Literacy Minnesota: Integrated Pronunciation Instruction for Increased Intelligibility
DESCRIPTION: Effective pronunciation instruction that prioritizes intelligibility can greatly support learners both inside and outside the classroom. Yet\, many teachers struggle to identify which pronunciation features to focus on and how to seamlessly integrate them into their lessons. This session will help participants refine their pronunciation diagnostic skills\, determine key pronunciation features to address\, and explore practical ways to incorporate pronunciation instruction into everyday classroom activities. \nPlease note that you may be asked to participate in discussion groups during the webinar. Please plan to join us from a quiet setting where you can see the PowerPoint slides and use your audio. \nPresenter: Suzanne Gilchrist McCurdy\, PhD\, has more than 20 years of experience in the adult EAL field. She has worked as a teacher educator and consultant in adult basic education and as an instructor at Hamline University and the University of Minnesota. Her interests include EAL teacher education for pronunciation instruction\, language teacher cognition\, and low-level adult immigrant and refugee learners. \nRegister here
