MORE PRACTICAL WAYS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ PRONUNCIATION I was delighted to be able to share a few strategies to improve students' pronunciation in the Times Educational Supplement (TES) this Friday as I view good pronunciation as one of the most effective ways to boost students' confidence in their own ability as linguists.
