Vietnamese translation of English Pronunciation rules
Pronunciation is a key component of the EFL classroom.
While teaching English in Vietnam, I found this tool to be especially helpful when students are practicing at home. It helps them prepare for those pesky Oral Exams.
It includes 7 basic rules we English speakers often take for granted that they have learned before they entered the classroom. They are expertly translated into Vietnamese.
This form is A4 and makes a great bookmark.
