Adrian Underhill gives his plenary entitled "Pronunciatiion: The Cinderella of ELT" at the IH Toruń International Teacher Training Day on Saturday 25th March 2017.

Abstract (by Adrian Underhill):

"Unlike grammar and vocabulary, pronunciation is not fully integrated into language learning. In this highly participatory presentation; I will propose two solutions which I will demonstrate in a hands-on-lessons, showing how to liberate learners from the 'grip' of their mother tongue pronunciation, how to reconnect with the muscles that make the pronunciation difference, and how to feel greater confidence as the teacher. I wil lillustrate how to use the phonemic chart as a mental map to guide this process."
