How to teach pronunciation for global communication with Marek Kiczkowiak
One of the fundamental beliefs supporting the ideology of native speakerism, or the idea that ‘native speakers’ are not only linguistically but also pedagogically superior to ‘non-native speaker’ teachers, is that all ‘native speakers’ are by definition better models and teachers of pronunciation. This belief is very much reflected in how pronunciation is taught with a prime focus on imitating standard British or general American models.
Nevertheless, since English is primarily used as a lingua franca (ELF) between ‘non-native speakers’, such an imposition of a ‘native speaker’ pronunciation standard becomes questionable. For example, there is no evidence that these two models of pronunciation are actually the most intelligible in ELF contexts, and bearing in mind SLA research findings, it is doubtful whether such models are achievable for most adult learners.
This talk will provide participants with clear pedagogical principles and practical activities forming an alternative approach to teaching pronunciation based on over two decades of research. More specifically, it will start with an overview of the most important findings from the last 20 years of pronunciation research in ELF contexts. It will then provide participants with clear pedagogical principles they can use to teach pronunciation. Participants will learn how to tailor this approach to the specific local pronunciation needs of their students to make it even more effective. Finally, participants will see an array of practical pronunciation activities that they can use with their students.

If anyone or any institution is considering signing up for Nat Geo learning utilising SPARK, I seriously recommend ensuring you will be able to receive proper support when you have difficulties. This is because from my experience when you have signed up, paid your money, support or interest in helping you solve your problem is practically non-existent. You will receive a ticket when you email them promising swift assistance, then you will receive a generic non-helpul video, & further emails requesting help will be ignored, as a poor unfortunate student of mine & my colleagues' students found out. I strongly recommend not wasting time or money with this. It will be far far better to find a means to study face to face with a teacher with a book that does not come with caveats or problems and where you will be able to access the help or support you require. Do your research.

Greetings from Brazil. I hope you're all doing well. With regards to Perspectives edition, could you tell me if this book series is 1st or 2nd?

Great lesson indeed....
It looks great.
Let's design a lesson about the poor being exploited, but not let's complicate it by asking about why that man is forced into taking such a horrible job. Well done National Geographical!
I'm doing classroom observations via videos due the pandemic and have come across a lot of great material, including this video. I love instructors who are patient and genuinely care about providing the material in a way that helps students grasp it. She takes her time and doesn't rush through any of it, which is great for those students who are often overwhelmed by the material as it is. Thanks for posting! Keep 'em coming!
I need a password
We need more like this,pls
Excellent video, Excellent book, excellent class! The Teacher is doing a great work!.
Anyone have password for c1?
I absolutely loved your class and I'm excited to try LIFE for my classes in the future
