Project
This is my final project that I have been created for EFL 537. I decided to work on the topic of Teaching English pronunciation for Thai pilot. Although this sounds like my presentation is designed for Thai pilots, but it is generally created for Thai people who have problems with English pronuncing. In the slide, you will see what problems Thai pilots are facing in the area of English pronunciation. Besides, I provide some good lesson plans as well as websites that might be useful for them to practice on their problem.
However if you are interested in details, I also attach my slideshare’s URL which will link you to more information.
