| Get them to repeat after you. Unless you have a thick Glaswegian accent! |

The problem with some schools, especially the under funded rural schools is the kids just have local teachers. They might be dedicated and caring but their own pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired. In these cases I would think poor pronunciation is intractable because that is what they have learned. A teacher on another ELT blogsite says his kids have excellent pronunciation because he teaches phonics right from the start. I have had a quick look at some of the phonics material and I reckon if you had the time to look into it and teach it properly the results would show.
It's good for adults too. If I get the time I will definitely research phonics. |
