Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
This unit clarifies the importance of teaching English language pronunciation and phonolog.
However, pronunciation is the most difficult topic for most of the foreign teachers and learners too to go through it confidently and methodicall.
A good teacher should always consider the pronunciation lesson as an integral part of the cours.
