Practice Activities – FP005 T&P

SUBJECT PRACTICE ACTIVITIES:


TEACHING PRONUNCIATION

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The subject practice activities consist of doing individually five short exercises. The
document must fulfil the following conditions:

- Length: 3 pages (without including cover, index or appendices –if there are any-).
- Font type: Arial or Times New Roman.
- Font size: 11.
- Spacing: 1.5.
- Alignment: Justified.

Besides, the activities have to be done in this Word document: leave the activities’
statements where they are and just answer below them. In order to make the correction
process easier, please, do not write the answers in bold, and it will then be easier to
distinguish between them and the activities’ statements. On the other hand, the
document must still fulfil the rules of presentation and edition, and follow the rubric for
quoting and making bibliographical references as detailed in the Study Guide.

Also, it has to be submitted following the procedure specified in the “Subject


Evaluation” document. Sending it to the teacher’s e-mail is not permitted.

In addition to this, it is very important to read the assessment criteria, which can be
found in the “Subject Evaluation” document.

You can find attached excerpts of two books to teach pronunciation.

 Excerpt 1: Underhill, A. (2005). Learning and Teaching Pronunciation.


Oxford: MacMillan. (pp. 14-24).
 Excerpt 2: Hancock, M & Donna, S. (2014) English Pronunciation in Use.
Cambridge: Cambridge University. (pp. 10-19).

Review the two books and answer the following questions.

1. What seems to be the general approach of the books? Segmental or


suprasegmental? Exposure-based or explanation based? Humanistic or
drill-based? Teacher-centred or student centered? Traditional or unusual?
Use what you learnt in Chapter 9 to justify your answer.

2. Does it cover all aspects we have seen in the materials? Articulation,


vowel/consonantal system, phonemic chart, connected speech, stress,
intonation, foreign influence? Etc.? Refer back to the materials if any of
those aspects needs definition.

3. Does any of them consider integrated skills? Do they teach vocabulary, as


well? If they don’t, could you make a brief proposal for them to include
vocabulary?

4. Which contexts of use are they intended for? Are there significant
differences among the three of them?

5. Which one would you prefer to use as a teacher? Why? Relate you answer
to Brinton’s variables.
