In this episode, I discuss some important aspects of pronunciation that teachers should consider when giving feedback on pronunciation. I explain why intelligibility is more important than accent, as well as what specific phonological elements are crucial to sound clear and understandable to other speakers and trust me, it's not precisely to sound like a native speaker.
I used two segments to illustrate the concept of intelligibility: Tory MP fails to understand the Scottish accent and The Two Ronnies skit: The Grocery Shop.
