Implementing explicit pronunciation instruction:The case of a nonnative English-speaking teacher(Ⅲ)

VilI Discussion The findings from this study illustrate both the techniques and the rationale behind such techniques used by this particular NNST in implementing explicit pronunciation instruction.They also highlight the convergence of the different factors that constitute his knowledge base of pronunciation teaching.In general terms,the techniques Carlos used are not that different from what NSTs may do in pronunciation teaching in terms of controlled and guided activities(Baker,2014),or even what they do when teaching other skills like grammar(see Borg,1998;Johnston&Goettsch,2000).
