An ESL Teachers’ Guide to Pronunciation Teaching Using Online Resources

---

Abstract

ESL students view the teaching of pronunciation as an important part of their English language education, yet research has shown it is granted relatively little attention in the ESL classroom. Although many ESL teachers agree with students on the importance of pronunciation teaching, they often do not feel qualified to teach pronunciation due to insufficient training in this area. Unfortunately, time constraints and other obstacles often keep practicing ESL teachers from obtaining the pronunciation-instruction preparation they need to fulfill students’ needs. These factors have led to the development of an online guide (at www.englishpronunciationguide.weebly.com) to ESL pronunciation- teaching resources. This website is designed to help teachers with inadequate pronunciation training quickly access existing pronunciation-teaching videos online. Teachers can then use these resources to educate themselves and teach specific aspects of English pronunciation to their students with greater competence and increased confidence.
