Dr. Robin C Barr : Psycholinguistics and teaching pronunciation
( Prof. Barr holds a PhD in Linguistics from Harvard with concentrations in both Indo-European and psycholinguistics. Her research on morphology involves the relationship between language learning and language change ) reference https://www.american.edu/cas/faculty/rbarr.cfm
Myths about teaching pronunciationNative speakers -traditional way : teacher demonstrates proper pronunciation - Ss imitate - teacher points out Ss' error.
Clearly vs normal conversations - different accent
Consonant and vowels - comprehensibility depends on suprasegmental ( a lemon tree?) Stress in wrong way and somehow stress is more important than consonant and vowels
Pronunciation vs language learning tasks - it's essential to reading and writing; it's even important for grammar and vocabulary

- tell adults to listen harder is useless
-make the brain don't think that we are learning a language
- phonological awareness caused the change of the brain
- bypass : visual, kinesthetic, muscle memory, musical, non linguistics sound, production leads to perception
