I agree that to succeed with EFL learners, it is more effective to have simple strategies to create positive and lasting change. As a trainer, it is helpful to know about the lip and the jaw position for the sounds. However, it is more practical to teach about the positions of the tongue and lip and probably easier for the learner to remember.
Providing info about the jaw position can be helpful in certain cases, but I typically wait and only address it if the student is doing something wrong that impacts production of the target sound. This is usually still related to the tongue. For example, if the speaker opens the jaw too much for the /ɛ/ sound (e.g. “bed”), the tongue will typically drop with the jaw and be too low in the front, creating a sound closer to /æ/ (e.g. “bad”).
I just went through the French version of “John’s Bad Day”. The corrected sheet is hard to make out and I can’t decipher the correction marks. Is it possible to make that copy available on a separate PDF?
