Improving Pronunciation of Adult ESL Students.
van Loon, John
TESL Canada Journal, v20 n1 p83-88 Win 2002
Describes a classroom technique for improving the pronunciation of adult English-as-a-Second-Language learners that is based on using stress and pausing in the same manner as native speakers of English. Dramatic improvement in pronunciation may be quickly achieved by showing learners how stress and pause are related to parts of speech and sentence structure. (Author/VWL)
