Dialect Reduction and Accent Restructuring: Some Methods for the Bilingual Classroom.
Anderson, Johnny R.
A guide to English pronunciation instruction for native Spanish speakers uses eight basic steps to find and use appropriate techniques to address a specific phonological problem. The steps are (1) calling the student's attention to the learning point; (2) focusing attention on the problem area; (3) sharpening student recognition of the sound in different consonant environments; (4) generalizing the significant features to be mastered; (5) producing new sounds by mimicry or by production of opposite sounds; (6) checking student perception of sounds within minimal sentences; (7) substitution and pattern drilling; and (8) reinforcing and stabilizing the sounds taught in the laboratory and/or at home. An actual lesson plan to teach a specific minimal contrast is outlined, with accompanying teacher notes. (MSE)
