Default Pronunciation Practice

I like to get students to really focus on pronunciation by giving dictactions to each other.

First, have the students write some sort of short paragraph, maybe about themselves or what they did last weekend or whatever. Not too long though. Maybe 2-5 sentences.

Then put the students into groups of 3-5.

Each student takes a turn at reading their paragraph while the other students dictate, word for word, what the reader is saying.

You'll have students speaking loudly and clearly in no time.

Pre teach expressions like. "Could you repeat that?", "Excuse me?", "Could you say that slowly?', etc...
