How do you teach English pronunciation? One area often problematic for learners is stress timing. Watch Rachael below, using chants and rounds to help her learners.

Do you have any ideas to add? Leave a comment below!

I am not a native English speaker. What should I do to improve my pronunciation. My real accent sometimes come out of my mouth.

Dear Ahmad

Thank you for your comment. We do not believe that all learners of English should sound like a 'native’ English speaker. There are many speakers of English from all across the world. What is important is that people you communicate with in English are able to understand what you say. 

I can’t see any video above.
Hi Vero, Sorry about that! We’re looking into and hopefully it’ll be back up soon. Rachael TeachingEnglish team

I really enjoy this activity very much.

Pupils will have fun and also learn to pronounce the new words easily.

Thank you.
