Lecture by Prof. Andrew Lee
An open lecture organised by the IDUB programme will be held on 27 March 2025 at 12:30 p.m. at the Institute of English Studies of the University of Wrocław. The lecture entitled ‘Demystifying second language pronunciation: Insights from researcher-practitioner collaboration’ will be delivered by Prof. Andrew Lee (Université Laval, Canada).
Abstract:
Despite the critical role of pronunciation in effective communication, why has pronunciation often been overlooked in second language learning and teaching? This talk will address this question, exploring the challenges associated with pronunciation instruction and offering evidence-based suggestions drawn from research on second language pronunciation. Participants will gain insights into the importance of second language pronunciation instruction and a useful model of researcher-practitioner collaboration that benefits all stakeholders in second language learning and teaching.
