ELF PRONUNCIATION

OUR PUBLICATIONS
We have published a number of articles, chapters and books on pronunciation and listening for ELF. In reverse chronological order, these are: Patsko, L. & K. Simpson (2018). How to write pronunciation activities. Published by ELT Teacher 2 Writer. Buy the ebook from Amazon, Smashwords or iBooks. Click here to read a summary ofcontents.
BACKGROUND & THEORY
A new volume on ELF has just been published: The Handbook of English as a Lingua Franca (Routledge, 2017). Chapter 35, “ELF and Teacher Education” is co-authored by ELFpron’s own Laura Patsko and Martin Dewey of King’s College London.. This chapter doesn’t focus on pronunciation, but it does highlight and discuss a number of key developments in the fields of teacher education and ELF. GIVE ME MORE… LINKS AND RESOURCES Give me more links and resources. If you’re looking for resources to use in class, for example to acquaint your students with the concept of ELF or expose them to a wider range of accents than those typically represented in ELT coursebooks, look no further!LINGUA FRANCA CORE
The activity format is simple: students dictate sentences to each other; you listen and take notes on their pronunciation during the process; and you collect what they wrote to analyse later in more detail ( with reference to the Lingua Franca Core) the students’apparent ability
IDENTIFYING AND PRACTISING THOUGHT GROUPS Identifying and practising thought groups. This is the second in a pair of posts on the theory and practice of teaching nuclear stress for English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). The first post explained what nuclear stress is; this post will demonstrate one way of working on this with students. In the first post, we talked about tone units. UNDERSTANDING NUCLEAR STRESS This student was in fact referring to a pen, asking for ‘a blue one’. When the speaker altered the nuclear stress to say //a BLUE vun//, the others understood; intelligibility was achieved. In other words, this student had two pronunciation ‘errors’: misplacednuclear stress
TED TALKS: BEYOND COURSEBOOK ACCENTS Do you ever use TED talks in your classes? This nonprofit organisation, with the tagline 'Ideas worth spreading', is a great place to find interesting authentic audio. TED talks are also really useful if you want to familiarise your students with a wider range of accents than most coursebooks tend to offer (as suggested by Anne Hodgson in a comment HOW TO DO A NEEDS ANALYSIS WITH A MULTILINGUAL CLASS If you teach multilingual classes, you have a ready-made ELF environment to exploit! The learners come from different first-language backgrounds, so are using English together as their lingua franca (language for communication). In our experience, the multilingual classroom environment often reveals just how problematic pronunciation can be for ELF interaction.ELF PRONUNCIATION

This is a variation on the traditional ‘Battleships‘ board game, but designed to practise pronunciation. I’ve used it with my own students many times and they always find it challenging and engaging. The game involves learners very carefully articulating words in minimal pairs so that their partner can understand precisely which word they’re saying. ATTITUDES | ELF PRONUNCIATION Posts about attitudes written by Katy Simpson. This is the first in a series of posts about the Learning English Video Project.Read on to find out what the project is about, or if you’re already familiar with the videos then just scroll down to the ‘materials’ section. GHANAIAN | ELF PRONUNCIATION N.B Information on some of the speakers’ L1 is not available, and so we have indicated their nationality instead, followed by an asterisk. Given the huge variety of L1s in a country like India (including English), we appreciate that this does not necessarily enable the ELF IN A MULTILINGUAL CLASS As with all linguistic interaction, intelligibility is undoubtedly a two-way street - that is, it's not only the speaker's responsibility to make him/herself understood to others, but the listener also has the task of understanding. In the classroom, we can work on both sides. In other words, we can help develop learners' productive and TEN NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER MODELS "The continuing expansion of Internet accessibility enhances possibilities for working with intelligible and comprehensible non-native English speech samples that were unimaginable a mere decade ago." (Murphy, 2014: 267) That's John Murphy of Georgia State University in his research "Intelligible, comprehensible non-native models in ESL / EFL pronunciation teaching" (System 42 (2014) FILM STAR DICTATIONS In our last post, we looked at student-to-student dictation activities in the multilingual ELF classroom. But what about monolingual classes? Pass the popcorn! (image from ELTpics) Audio recordings of speakers of other backgrounds are essential to familiarise students with a range of accents, particularly in monolingual classes. Doing dictation activities is a great way toELF PRONUNCIATION

_Last updated 17 September 2019._ ------------------------- Your students need to use English with people from around the world. Your students need help with their pronunciation, to speak clearly in an international context. Your students need to develop their listening skills, to understand a wide range of accents. You want to teach lessons which address these needs. Where can you find suitable materials and activities? Where can you find inspiration for your owncontext?
Here, on ELFpron.
We aim to bridge theory and practice, to address two fundamental questions: Who are our students most likely to use English with? How can we help them to communicate successfully? Here, you’ll find a wide range of lesson plans, classroom resources and teacher training videos, all designed to support English language teachers whose students use English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). You’ll find more information about the research which informs our pedagogical approach, plus training videos and interviews, via themenus.
