An online conference presented by IATEFL Pronunciation Special Interest Group (Pronsig)
In the face of native-speakerism, accent prejudice and inequality, the act of pronunciation teaching can be a loaded issue, creating debates, and raising questions such as:
- How can we teach pronunciation in a more inclusive way and create a classroom in which all accents are valued and treated with respect?
- How can we promote equality and acceptance of diverse Englishes in a world in which accent reduction and prestige native speaker model content abound?
- How can we ensure that all of our students’ accents are equally represented as part of the global community of English speakers?
PronSIG Online Conference will feature 30-minute presentations and 5-minute posters focusing on (but not limited to) the following themes:
- attitudes to diverse accents in pronunciation teaching in various contexts
- encouraging acceptance of global Englishes in the classroom
- creating pronunciation materials using diverse accents/ELF perspectives
- overcoming accent or NNEST prejudice in the ELT world.
