Using Audiovisual Materials to Teach Pronunciation

---

Abstract

Captioned video offers learners a combination of auditory and visual input and has therefore been suggested as a great tool to enhance second language (L2) learning. Recent research has also shown promising beneficial effects of captioned video on L2 pronunciation. This teaching tip is designed to demonstrate a step-by-step guide on how captioned video can be utilized as a springboard for controlled and communicative speaking activities and complement explicit pronunciation instruction in the L2 classroom. It also includes recommendations for how to incorporate captioned videos into homework assignments, using the educational video platform EdPuzzle.
