Abstract

This report provides a detailed discussion of the suprasegmental lessons in the Supra Tutor course and the main teaching approaches and pedagogical and technological decisions behind those lessons. First, the paper provides a brief background section explaining the study (Lima, 2020), its target population, and the focus of the Supra Tutor course. Section 2 expands on the pedagogical and technological rationales and explains the activities included in the Tutor and their purpose. Section 3 provides a description of how instruction was implemented in the study. Finally, Section 4 concludes the report by reflecting on major changes made to the Supra Tutor after the research was concluded.
