Pronunciation as a Listening Skill

Pronunciation is just as important for listening as for speaking. In this workshop, we will look at what features make connected speech difficult to follow. We will try out a series of tasks and games for raising awareness of these features. Finally, I will suggest how teachers can prepare their own micro-listening activities. See the programme for the whole day here. You can find the slideshow of the talk as a PDF below, and you can listen to an audio recording of this talk as given at IATEFL Liverpool on this page. Also, here are the pages for a couple of the materials demonstrated in the talk: Yes, today song, Grace's Cat chant, Doctor doctor cartoon.
