Summary
Show Ss how to pronounce the sound(s)
Ss listen to the model (or teacher) to distinguish pairs of long and short sounds (contextualized exercises are recommended)
T provides texts containing practiced sounds, and instructs Ss to practice
Pronunciation is integrated with other foci (i.e., meaning, grammar, & communicative intent).
Speaking activities are conducted to put the sounds into use (e.g., role-play, Q&A)
