11.00-11.50 Making pronunciation an integral part of your classroom practice
Nicola Meldrum & Mark McKinnon, Oxford TEFL teacher trainers

How much pronunciation work takes place in the average EFL classroom? Many teachers would admit that a lot less goes on than they would like. It makes sense that without sufficient mastery of pronunciation, being understood and understanding others is virtually impossible. In this workshop we will cover practical ideas on how to fully integrate pronunciation into your classroom work.
