In an effort to continue sharing knowledge and innovative practical pronunciation materials and techniques, PronSIG’s encourages teachers to submit a favourite pronunciation-based exercise, game, or worksheet of their own creation on any pronunciation feature to our 2025 Materials and Activities award.
What you need to do
Share your activity plus the following written accompaniment:
- Introduce yourself, your students (their L1 and language level) and state your objective for using the material/ worksheet etc. For instance, it could be to introduce and practice specific sounds or to raise awareness of stress. (200-250 words).
- Provide the worksheet, game or activity and provide step-by-step instructions for teachers to follow. (500-1000 words).
- Evaluate your experience using the materials: what were its strengths and weaknesses? Did you see results faster than you expected? Did it highlight any surprising issues or bring unexpected challenges to you or your students? (750-1000 words).
- Conclude by making suggestions for who the materials might be particularly useful for, e.g. students of a particular L1 or age group. (200-250 words).

- A year-long membership to IATEFL with PronSIG as their chosen SIG.
- Entry into the PronSIG 2025 PCE either virtually or face to face in Edinburgh.
