Abstract
In this presentation, Ewa will demonstrate how self-imitation and imitation practice can enhance L2 pronunciation skills. She will share findings from her study involving Polish learners of English using three tools: Golden Speaker Builder, Revoicer, and Speechify over an 8-week period. The results show significant improvement in English production after just two months. Through imitation and self-imitation practice, learners not only enhance their L2 pronunciation skills but also gain a deeper awareness of phonological processes in both English and their mother tongue. She will also demonstrate how these tools work and how you can use them with your students.
Please note the webinar is free for all to attend, but the certificates of attendance will be sent to members of IATEFL only.
