We discussed several resource books for teaching pronunciation in last week's session, particularly Mark Hancock's Pronunciation Games and Ann Baker's Ship or Sheep. There's also an apparently unrelated website named Ship or Sheep (not sure if it was possible for Ann Baker to copyright the expression "ship or sheep"), and I referred to some clunky but potentially interesting exercises on the Centre for Independent Language Learning website. Further suggestions will come in future sessions, but I am also very keen to read about your experiences of teaching (or being taught) English pronunciation. Do you have any tasks or exercises that have worked particularly well for you? Has reading and discussing the topic sparked off any ideas that you'd like to share? I'd be very happy to read your thoughts either as comments on this post, or as individual blog posts of your own.
