We can take the time to learn our students’ names and show them that we care. Taking a student aside and asking them how to pronounce their names correctly shows them how important they are to you. It may take several instances, but it’s important. I personally write names phonetically And repeatedly say their names to them during lessons. I like the Podcasters mentioning that when teachers use students’ names correctly, then their peers in class will begin to use the correct pronunciation’s as well.
