Annotation
The content of the three previous courses is summarised and then analysed from the methodological point of view. The aim is to explore some effective ways of teaching pronunciation at primary schools in the form of demonstrations, discussions and microteachings. The course also offers an insight into a few interesting areas closely related to English pronunciation
(homophony, onomatopoeia etc.)
