One of the most problematic areas in expressing oneself orally in English concerns everything related to pronunciation and the ability to express academic content in a way that is intelligible, comfortable and in keeping with the canons of using English as an international language. Due to the emotional stress that can affect some of the teachers, awareness of what is useful, prioritized, and effective becomes a necessity so that teachers do not feel overly concerned about the level of accuracy in the use of English sounds. In this way, working in a pleasant and sensible way with what is important regarding pronunciation and intelligibility will result in a better ability to communicate and in an element of relaxation as far as this aspect of the language is concerned.
Learning goals and competencies:
- To improve oral communication in the English-taught academic content (EMI) classroom.
- To provide participants with resources and strategies for using oral English effectively in the English-taught courses, focusing on difficulties with pronunciation of specific terminology.
- To develop self-consciousness in teaching subjects through English.
