AE SIG FEATURED SPEAKER: Pronunciation Instruction in a Hybrid Flexible ESL Classroom

This presentation will examine possibilities when teaching adult ESL learners the perception and production of segmental features of English pronunciation in a hybrid flexible classroom where some students attended in person, and others attended online. Deliberate implementation of pronunciation instruction and practice in a hybrid flexible class can(?) increase students’ equitable access to educational resources If learning outcomes associated with the format are comparable to other formats (i.e. traditional face to face and online synchronous), programs could consider employing it in their hybrid classes. Specific attention will be paid to some of the pronunciation activities used in an adult hybrid ESOL class in Longmont, as well as some of the results of a Master's thesis on this research.
