👉 So many teachers feel they can't teach pronunciation if their speech doesn't sound a certain way. Listen to this episode to discover why that isn't true.
Robin Walker and Gemma Archer are pronunciation specialists who co-authored "Teaching English Pronunciation for a Global World," which aims to encourage pronunciation instruction from a lingua franca and intelligibility perspective.
We chat with Robin & Gemma about:
- intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness
- why the Lingua Franca Core is what teachers should learn
- their disdain for Jennifer Jenkins' criticism of them - before realizing she was right
- how intelligibility is the thing that allows pronunciation to do its job
- weak forms and why they're not necessary for intelligibility
- why the goal of international intelligibility doesn't exclude other goals
- how to measure intelligibility & use Linca Franca Core diagnostics with your students
