The Pronunciation SIG History
The PronSIG was founded in 1993 by Camilla Dixo Lieff and Zaina A. Abdalla Nunes. The idea at the time was to group people that would gather round interests within the field of English Language Teaching such as Pronunciation. As it was the first group linked to the BRAZ-TESOL, Camilla and Zaina consulted another teaching association, the IATEFL - International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language – where the coordinator of the Pron-SIG at the time, Michael Vaughan-Rees, promptly sat down with them and informed rules and regulations that governed all the SIGs linked to the IATEFL. This happened in 1992 at the IATEFL Conference in Lille, France. Back in Brazil, the group was set up as more members were invited to join in.
