(iii) How pronunciation was taught/practised
o. The integration of pronunciation with other skills: Almost every respondent
said they integrated pronunciation teaching. On the other hand, although
most teachers did not give separate pronunciation lessons, several pointed
out that they might spend sections of class time exclusively on pronunciation.
p. A systematic approach to pronunciation: Most respondents dealt with learners' pronunciation problems as they arose. Eight (25%) reported a systematic approach to some degree, while several said that their approach depended
on the learners' needs and abilities. However, several teachers commented on
the diculties of dealing with multilingual groups in which learners have very
di€erent needs. Several teachers referred to the diculties of making pro-
nunciation transferable to learners' linguistic behavior out of the classroom.
q. Speci®c methods of teaching: Chanting was used by 15 (47%) of the
respondents. Both drama and role-play were used to quite a degree. Drills
were widely used, particularly at beginner and intermediate levels.
