In this workshop, we will consider what counts as success in pronunciation, especially in the light of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). We will then try out some activities which I have found to be successful over 30 years of writing pronunciation materials, and discuss how these can be used in a way which enhances the learner’s communicative success. Find PDFs, MP3s and other downloads at the bottom of the page. Also, here are links to some of the materials on this site:

The Sound Chart

The 'S' or 'Z' maze

The 'Get Fit' rap

The 'Pears and Peaches' song
