  7. What we (think we) hear 1 “We can thus say that we ‘think in phonemes’ but ‘speak in allophones’ (Dalton and Seidlhofer, 1994, Chapter 2).” Burns, Anne and Barbara Seidlhofer. 2010. Speaking and Pronunciation. In Norbert Schmitt, editor. An Introduction to Applied Linguistics, 2nd edition, Chapter 12, pp. 196-214. London: Hodder Education, p. 207.

  8. What we (think we) hear 2 That is, we think we HEAR phonemes and we interpret in terms of phonemes. but we really speak in allophones because it is impossible to SPEAK in phonemes Burns, Anne and Barbara Seidlhofer. 2010.

  9. Implications for Pedagogy 1. Should speaking activities focus on texts or sentences? 2. How can a discourse-based approach be applied in classroom practice? 3. Should we use only 'authentic' texts? 4. What procedures are there specifically for pronunciation teaching? Burns, Anne and Barbara Seidlhofer. 2010. Speaking and Pronunciation. In Norbert Schmitt, editor. An Introduction to Applied Linguistics, 2nd edition, Chapter 12, pp. 196-214. London: Hodder Education, pp. 207-212.

  12. Practical Techniques for Teaching Pronunciation  Elicited Mechanical Production  Ear Training for Sound Contrasts  Sounds for Meaning Contrasts  Cognitive Analysis  Whole Brain, Communication Activities, and Games  Learning Strategies Burns, Anne and Barbara Seidlhofer. 2010. Speaking and Pronunciation. In Norbert Schmitt, editor. An Introduction to Applied Linguistics, 2nd edition, Chapter 12, pp. 196-214. London: Hodder Education, pp. 210-212.
