I am seeking the help of ESL teachers who teach at least some pronunciation in their classrooms. Specifically, I am looking for teachers who do ALL of the following: 1. Teach pronunciation, either a lot or a little, in their ESL classrooms; 2. Have taught some pronunciation in the past 1 year; 3. Teach in Canada or the United States, and 4. Teach adult ESL students (any institution/program). If you meet these criteria, I would greatly appreciate your participation in this 15 minute survey. (Or alternatively, if you know of any people who meet these criteria, please forward this email to them.) I hope the findings from this study will help us to improve pronunciation instruction in the future. If you're willing to participate in this study, please click on the link below: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Vxmg6E4cOni5vw3tu1tmoQ_3d_3d The password for this survey is: TEACH. Thank you!
