Session Abstract
This presentation reports on a study recruiting native-speaking undergraduates at a large research university as pronunciation tutors for non-native speaking peers. Though the tutors were TESOL novices, with online training, role-plays, and observations they were able to teach key suprasegmental concepts and even learn to provide useful, structured corrective feedback.
