We have offered several reasons for integrating pronunciation into language teaching. Integration ensures that pronunciation is addressed consistently, and attending to pronunciation’s forms and functions as part of instruction focusing on other skills will not only improve the ways that language learners speak and listen, it will also ensure that they learn oral and written language as complementary representations of communicative ability. We have also suggested how to research the effectiveness of integrating pronunciation. Finally, we encourage teachers to include pronunciation in their own teaching by providing examples in an ABE context, of how pronunciation can be integrated into challenging teaching situations. Using examples like these for teacher training or development would be valuable to help new and practicing teachers see how pronunciation fits naturally within the teaching of other skills.
