Education may be the most important use of NamePlayer by instaPronounceTM.
Research on the connection between mispronouncing a student’s name and the resulting negative impact on that student’s identity and sense of self is well established. Students with difficult to pronounce names can be subjected to bullying and teasing and suffer from embarrassment and anxiety. This can result in lack of participation, isolation and poor academic performance.
Giving both teachers and students an easy and fun tool to learn how to pronounce each other’s name demonstrates mutual respect, inclusivity and bridges cultural divides. Providing a NamePlayer to students and teachers from kindergarten to graduate school could not be more important, today more than ever.
