Research into practice: revisiting some ‘old-fashioned’ notions in<br />
pronunciation teaching<br />
Pamela Rogerson-Revell<br />
Revell (University of Leicester)<br />
In this talk, I will argue that there is still a need for closer links between<br />
phonological research and pronunciation teaching and that an<br />
understanding of key issues and relevant research can help teachers<br />
prioritise pronunciation content and select relevant teaching approaches.<br />
To illustrate, I will revisit some well-established notions in pronunciation<br />
teaching, such as drilling, dictation and stress-timing.<br />

Creating intercultural ambassadors through English in Nepal: a case<br />
study<br />
Sagun Shrestha (NELTA & St. Lawrence College, Chabahil, Kathmandu)<br />
English has recently become the best vehicle in Nepali classrooms to<br />
embody intercultural harmony. Since the English language brings global<br />
awareness to the decrepit classrooms of Nepal, it has helped Nepali<br />
children learn the culture of civil society. I will explore these realities visa-vis<br />
the US State Department sponsored 'Access' program implemented<br />
by Nepal English Language Teachers' Association (NELTA).<br />

Se habla inglés: : an analysis of language policy in Mexico<br />
Pilar Aramayo Prudencio (British Council Mexico)<br />
Why is English taught in Mexico? Who really needs it? What for? This talk<br />
will explore some ideological factors on which the social value of English is<br />
constructed in Mexico, and which shape language and education policies. I<br />
will analyse the implications of conceptualising ELT as public policy, and<br />
examine the relation between public policies, language and education<br />
policies.<br />
