What do you do as an English teacher to ensure you pronounce words correctly all the time?

The best way is to listen to native speakers or check pronunciation of words or study phonetics and then listen to native speakers in news or on the internet or as friends.All routes will lead to listening to native speakers.

I think if you are always prepared before giving a class then you'll always pronounce words correctly. Before giving a class, if it is a lesson that i have never explained before I go through it thoroughly and make sure that I check all new words pronunciation and definitions. I put a plan for myself on how to go through the chapter with all activities that I will give. And I totally agree with Mr. Scott, we lead by example so we have to make sure we do everything right.

It is perfectly true. I answered a previous question saying that teachers are first and foremost "Role Models" and as such should "guide" and "mentor" their young charges. It is important in their formative years to lead them along the right path and of course this includes ensuring that you do everything correctly. Lead by example and they will surely follow!

You must make relationship with natives ...also look at the dictionary ytranscribe word with its transcript it shows you the right pronunciation 

 

 

 

to ensure your pronounce you should speaking alot  to the native people and listening to much foreign Movies

I always check them using the dictionary

I always repeat and show correct way for them to follow along

I make sure that i know what I am saying and understand it so that I pronounce it correctly.

Peter,Denis and Ahmed,thank you so much for your detailed answers,they are all correct and point in the right direction to go around the issue at hand.

studystudy phonetics and atleast practice by imitating native speakers or listening to news anchor, reporter or documentaries done in English. Practice, practice.

as for POST-METHODISM ,LISTENING plays a pivotal role,a teacher gotta put a hell of a lot in PRONUNCIATION since he is much like a MODEL in class.and the best way is LISTEN AND LISTEN AND LISTEN to the point that your brain hemisphers get ANGLICIZED
