Skill – Speaking and Pronunciation

Ramon developed a presentation on the subject of the Barranquilla Colombia carnival and I helped him with spelling and word selection. We talked about the subject and I suggested a few changes to some of the adjectives that he used. He practiced reading the presentation and I corrected his pronunciation and some of his sentence construction. Even though he is aware of the pronunciation issue he keeps making the same mistakes like adding an e in front of a word starting with s like Spanish (Espanish). I think he needs to keep on practicing reading out loud and receiving feedback on the spot that way his schema will eventually modify the mispronunciation. He is not shy and he is motivated to learn and we will keep on practicing speaking and reading.

He appreciates my feedback and is looking forward for suggestions and recommendations on his speaking development.
 
Lesson Learned: I may need to explore and research for other method on pronunciation improvement. Pronunciation and intonation are two key problems for Ramon and I would like to help him the most I can.
