For all of you EFL teachers out there that struggle with teaching pronunciation to your students, here’s an excellent method from Macmillan that is very easy to teach and easy for students to understand.  This video confirmed that I was doing some of the right things which is putting emphasis on the physical and less on the intellectual of pronunciation, but I’ve got a lot more work to do to get to the level of teaching in this video.  Adrian Underhill is the author of Sound Foundations: Learning and Teaching Pronunciation.  He has been a successful teacher and trainer for many years.  While working with Macmillan, he has equally participated as an advisor in the development of the New Macmillan Dictionary.  He’s worked regularly in teacher development and was a past president of the IATEFL, www.iatefl.org ,where he started a teacher development interest group.  Enjoy!  It’s great fun and a wonderful discovery of English pronunciation for everyone, not just teachers. If you don’t have time to watch the full video, skip to 0:55:55 at the end.  There you’ll see the results of the method.  Brilliant!
