IATEFL PRONUNCIATION SIG EVENT 

"PERSPECTIVES ON TEACHING PRONUNCIATION: WHERE THEORY MEETS PRACTICE"

NOVEMBER 21, 2008 

HOSTED BY 
BILKENT UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Closing date for proposals: September 15 , 2008

The event takes as its theme the challenge of integrating pronunciation teaching into everyday classroom practice. Pronunciation teaching, covering sounds, stress and intonation, represents a demanding area for language teachers around the globe as they try not only to make sense of the particular sound system they are working with but to integrate the teaching of pronunciation meaningfully into their practice. The aim of the conference is to show that pronunciation as an area of language teaching can be approached systematically and integrated into everyday practice in an efficient and effective manner and in doing so can be perceived as rewarding to both learner and instructor. 

The event aims to focus on the following areas: 

* The place of pronunciation in language teaching today
* Approaches and methods in teaching pronunciation
* Identifying and dealing with learner pronunciation problems at the segmental and 
   suprasegmental levels
* Practical activities for raising awareness and practicing sounds, stress and 
   intonation
* Designing materials and activities to teach pronunciation
* How teachers can manage their own development in pronunciation
