Research in Rhythmic Language for Better Korean Adult Pronunciation
P.W. Summer Brooks
Daejin University, South Korea
During her six year tenure as an EFL teacher in South Korea, the presenter
discovered that standard communicative approaches to teaching tended to
produce greater fluency but less accuracy. A possible alternative
was to focus on form with self-created tongue twisters and jazz chants
for Korean adults and to field test them in the classroom for accuracy
in pronunciation. Treatment groups were given pre-test and post-test
{recorded} readings of tongue twisters and recited jazz chants while control
groups focused on chapters of a pre-set curriculum of EFL study.
Test is still on-going.
