Show notes

Introduction

It’s the 29th of April 2021. Welcome to episode 15 of the Delivering Development podcast, helping language teachers and others in the field to enhance their professional development. My name is Kevin Westbrook, and with me today is Laura Styles.

Topics

After our series of episodes on language assessment, we have returned to a teaching subject. Pronunciation is often neglected, for a number of reasons, some of which we consider in the podcast. We also talk about why pronunciation is important and what other aspects of the sounds we make are significant.
