Pronunciation in the EFL class

I believe pronunciation is a much neglected area in our classes. Pronunciation teaching should be tackled as an integral part of the EFL lessons. Rythm and intonation as well. Not only the students' spoken output can benefit. Reading and listening skills could be largely enhanced by giving more attention to the way our students pronounce.
