*** Due to personal reasons, Alejandro Hernandez's workshop on having an effective workshop will be cancelled. To makeup for this, the Yongin KOTESOL Chapter will have a teaching English pronunciation workshop instead.
Teaching English Pronunciation Workshop
Abstract
A brief outline of some English phonemes Korean students often have difficulty producing, will be followed by demonstrations of how to use the contrastive method in teaching English pronunciation to Korean students. Also, a pronunciation diagnostic test will be introduced to use in the classroom to isolate English pronunciation difficulties of Korean students, along with a pronunciation acquisition model.
