Using readers theater as a technique to improve LEI students’ pronunciation
(2019-03) Huerta Rojas, Sandra; Rojas Morales, Ivonne
“Many students in the faculty of languages seem to have problems with pronunciation. This may be the result of different factors that have caused this situation. It seems to be that students may not pay sufficient attention to the area of pronunciation; for this reason, they lack confidence to speak and they have very few opportunities to practice. Using the correct techniques in EFL classes is a convenient way of improving not students’pronunciation but also to learn grammar and vocabulary. According to the authors’experience, students in the last semester of the BA program or even graduated students do not have a good pronunciation because of the lack of practice in English or they do not have the confidence to speak in front of others. Due to this situation, this project is focused on helping Target Language students to improve their pronunciation with Readers Theater. Readers Theater is a reading strategy used for improving pronunciation and it is also a way to connect literature in the classroom and increase vocabulary, as well as help students feel more confident in their pronunciation. Little or no research has been conducted by using this kind of technique”.
