| dc.description.abstract | Pronunciation constitutes an important skill for all learners, especially for those who have to use oral language on a daily basis for communication purposes and who wish to be integrated into the target-language speakers’ community. This is precisely the case of migrants in a host country. Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that these groups of learners are normally highly constrained in terms of time and financial resources. Consequently, it is relevant to propose practical and free ways to help them improve their pronunciation skills. This presentation aims precisely at showing how different free digital resources can be used by migrants to achieve a good level of pronunciation, especially in terms of intelligibility and comprehensibility (see these latter concepts in Derwing and Munro, 2005). It will include four main parts: (1) presenting reasons to focus on improving pronunciation, according to the literature (e.g. Yates, 2002; Moyer, 2014; Kissling, 2018); (2) showing what is needed to develop better pronunciation (e.g. Celce-Murcia et al., 2010; Grant, 2014; Castelo, 2022); (3) illustrating how several free digital resources can be used by migrants to practice their pronunciation, namely YouTube videos, mobile applications, online translators, and online courses (e.g. Liakin et al., 2015; O’Brien, 2018; Castelo, 2021); (4) suggesting ways to reach out to migrants in order to give them these tips and raise their awareness and autonomy. | pt_PT |
