Idea — Pronunciation matters for intelligibility — can the listener understand? Not native-likeness, but enough accuracy to prevent communication breakdown.
Example — A mispronounced vowel (‘ship’/’sheep’) may cause confusion; a non-native accent rarely does. Teach what blocks communication.
Try — Choose three pronunciation points relevant to your learners’ L1. For each, identify one minimal pair. Drill chorally, then individually.
