Description

The review proposes a matched set of eight strategies mirroring its eight identified challenges: a pronunciation-oriented curriculum within CLT, inclusion of pronunciation assessment, teacher preparedness through CPD, available pronunciation-integrated training, limited class size with longer class periods, technology-integrated pronunciation practice, availability of resources, and motivation among teachers and students. The review states "Implementing these strategies can significantly enhance the effectiveness of ESL pronunciation teaching in Bangladesh" and that a holistic approach combining them can improve students' communication skills.
