Description

The Audio Articulation Method, proposed by Demirezen (2004), is a pronunciation teaching model "designed to fill this gap in the field of pronunciation teaching" by rehabilitating fossilized segmental errors within a single class hour. Its basic steps involve the teacher identifying the problematic core sound, preparing a corpus of 50-100 words including that sound and its nearest pair, singling out minimal pairs, developing tongue twisters and idiomatic chunks, and stimulating further awareness through experiential practices.
