Sophie Farag: Using Blended Learning Techniques to Improve Pronunciation and Fluency

This presentation describes blended learning techniques adopted by teachers in the Pronunciation Center of the Intensive English Program at AUC. Online tools were introduced to complement face-to-face instruction and to increase the time students spent practicing pronunciation and fluency. The tools used will be presented and the results of an attitudes survey administered at the end of the course will be discussed.

Sophie Mahmoud Farag is a Senior English Language Instructor and the Director of the Intensive English Program at the American University in Cairo.
