Good afternoon!
I am Sing.

![Page 3: Teaching pronunciation: Integrating the corpus and ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012022/6169c03b11a7b741a34af40e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why can we use storytellingIn language teaching?
Let’s start with the rationale behind the unit plan.
![Page 4: Teaching pronunciation: Integrating the corpus and ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012022/6169c03b11a7b741a34af40e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Storytelling can...
1. foster children’s development of both listening and
comprehension skills (Morrow & Gambrell, 2002)
1. make children retain deep affection for and become
motivated to learn a language independently (Lane &
Wright, 2007)

What storybook was chosen then?
The context of the unit plan is built upon it.

What pronunciation items can we teach then?
It’s high time to draw on the online corpus!
![Page 8: Teaching pronunciation: Integrating the corpus and ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012022/6169c03b11a7b741a34af40e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Linking in the corpus
Point to note:
other examples of linking rather than CV linking are taught in the unit plan
99%!
CORPUS
![Page 9: Teaching pronunciation: Integrating the corpus and ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012022/6169c03b11a7b741a34af40e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Schwa (vowel reduction) in the corpus
CORPUS
> 50%!

How can the story link with those pronunciation items?
Let’s look into the layout of the unit plan first.
