WHAT’S ON SHOW?
‘Pronunciation in the 21st Century’ (Lee Engdahl, Kwandong University)Pronunciation is often neglected in language teaching although the conventional paradigm is nativism, in which students are expected to replicate precisely a standard idiolect of English. The two major avenues of effort are either in segmental or supra-segmental features of the target language, one at the level of the word and the other of the sentence. Recent research into the notion of ELF suggest that intelligibility may be more useful as a pedagogical direction than nativism. The position of this presentation is that intelligibility may be more fruitful but that one must be aware of the political and cultural aspects of language teaching.
