Conference: Equality and inclusion in pronunciation teaching, providing global representation.

In the face of native-speakerism, accent prejudice and inequality, the act of pronunciation teaching can be a hot issue, creating debates and raising questions such as:

• How can we teach pronunciation in a more inclusive way and create a space in which all accents are valued and treated with respect?

• How can we promote equality and acceptance of diverse Englishes in a world in which accent reduction and prestige native speaker model content dominate?

• How can we ensure that all of our students' accents are equally represented as part of the global community of English speakers?

This Sunday’s conference explores these critical issues with academics and practitioners from diverse parts of the world, plus:

• Prioritisation pronunciation goals for Spanish and Portuguese speakers
