Abstract | The paper describes activities incorporating literature, music, and cultural material that are used with foreign language majors at National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) and makes suggestions for their use in the pronunciation class. Even at advanced levels, Asian students of English as a second language (ESL) have difficulty with English pronunciation. Although many students can pronounce the sounds in isolation, they need practice with connected speech for fluency at and beyond the sentence level. A poem may help students feel the stress patterns and rhythm of English. A short prose reading gives practice in sentence intonation, while an excerpt from a speech allows the student to focus on phrase intonation, stress, or voice quality. A song calls for very careful diction, and tongue twisters challenge everyone's fluency. (Author/MSE) |
