The course was attended by English-language teachers from 3 continents:
Brasil: 1 Germany: 1 Italy: 3 Japan: 2 Poland: 4 South Korea: 1 Spain: 7 Romania: 1
Due to the geographical dispersion of the participants, the experience was more than Europe-wide!

The theoretical approach to teaching pronunciation was delivered by a specialized, university-level trainer from the University of Edinburgh;
This theoretical approach was complemented by 12 hours of individual work in the language laboratory, including exercises from published materials, shadow reading and reading aloud.
The teaching methods

It is important to become aware of the way in which you are physically articulating the sounds!

You can’t teach pronunciation without using the phonemic chart!

Speakers of different nationalities have their own specific difficulties in articulating English sounds: the Koreans find it almost impossible to pronounce the phonemes “v” and “f”;
In the same manner, individual students may have their own difficulties in understanding and producing pronunciation;
English pronunciation must be given appropriate attention during the English-teaching classes. Didactic games are an excellent way of teaching pronunciation. Drama activities, for instance, can enable the students to practice the paralinguistic features of pronunciation, among others.
