Stafford House Pronunciation

"Muscle, mind, meaning, memory: designing pronunciation lessons and materials" (You can download the slides from the bottom of this page). Pronunciation is hybrid: part language and part skill, part productive and part receptive, part body and part mind. The mnemonic Muscle, Mind, Meaning, Memory helps to keep this diversity in mind when planning lessons. In this practical presentation, we will look at different kinds of pronunciation tasks and materials and consider which aspects of pronunciation they are best suited for.
