Why teach pronunciation?Mispronunciation of certain phonemes can be extremely difficult to understand;
The inaccurate use of suprasegmental elements, such as stress or intonation, can also cause problems;
Students (often) like to have their pronunciation mistakes brought to their attention.
X
Why dont we teach it (more often)?Pronunciation can be an overlooked area of language teaching, partly because teachers themselves may feel more uncertain about it than about grammar or lexis, worried that they dont have enough technical knowledge to help students appropriately.
Learning Teaching, Jim Scrivener (p 271)X
DrillingIn its most basic form, drilling simply involves the teachers saying a word or structure, and getting the class to repeat it. Being able to drill properly is a basic and fundamental language teaching skill.

From reactive to planned teaching:Three types of pronunciation classesIntegrated lessons (together with... everything else)
Remedial lessons (based on class difficulties)
Practice Lessons (focused on one area)
How to Teach Pronunciation, Gerald Kelly (p 14)X
Integrated LessonsX
Used toLead in: Discuss whether students have pics of themselves as children. Discuss what used to be different (work on /ju:st/).Presentation: Board a few examples after drilling them. Point out that negative/interrogative are pronounced /ju:st/.Practice: Find someone who. (questions on board)Production: Sentences about childhood.X
Other integrated lessonsObject pronouns (elision of /h/; not stressed)Third conditional (contraction of auxiliaries)Simple past (pronunciation of ed; elision of /t/ and /d/)Simple present (pronunciation of s as /s/, /z/ and /z/)Introducing/describing oneself (intonation)Ability (sentence stress/weak forms)

Words of wisdomAttempting to completely eradicate a foreign accent is an unrealistic goal.
The native language not only affects the ability to produce English sounds but also the ability to hear English sounds.
Its as if learners hear the second language through a filter, the filter being the sound system of the native language.
While practice in pronunciation may not make perfect, ignoring pronunciation totally can be a great disservice to language learners.X
Many thanks! And a HAPPY NEW YEAR!X
