It includes articulatory basics (mouth movement, tongue and jaw position), with special attention to the stress, rhythm, and intonation features of English which Asian learners find most challenging. Activities to increase the Asian learner’s fluency and comprehensibility in English are presented for participants to use with their students at different ages and proficiency levels.
