Abstract
Listening is difficult to teach as it is less ‘tangible’ (Field, 2009) than the other skills. One of the main listening problems is inability to decode pronunciation features, which happens when students do not know the spoken form of a word or utterance. Teachers usually test students by playing recordings and asking comprehension questions rather than helping them overcome these obstacles. Therefore, in this webinar we will continue our pronunciation teaching unplugged discussion, by exploring two student-centered variations of dictation, namely dictogloss and micro-dictations.
Please note the webinar is free for all to attend, but the certificates of attendance will be sent to members of IATEFL only.
