SIG Mission: 

We are the Pronunciation Special Interest Group of BRAZ-TESOL. Our SIG aims to increase awareness of pronunciation as an integral part of the teaching of English as a foreign/second language, encourage and support the teaching of pronunciation improvement, disseminate theoretical and practical information as it develops in the field of pronunciation, cooperate with colleagues in related areas such as listening, work towards the development of improved pronunciation materials, and integrate the use of educational technology in the teaching and learning of pronunciation.
