I like to teach pronunciation using the alphabet. It makes a good base for the student to read the works in better ways.
It is very personal in my opinion. But I always go through the alphabet from the beginning to ensure that the students have the full view of the base pronunciation and then try to mention the exceptions as much as possible.
Voice and mime. Let student hear and then repeat word until they are satisfied. Reading and listening is also an excellent way to demonstrate. 🤗

Model and Repetition : In this method, the teacher models the correct pronunciation of a word or phrase , and then students to hear and practice the correct pronunciation in a controlled environment.

Pronunciation is best taught using meaningful task based exercise, namely through a phonetic chart or vocal chart. In that way they get to see, listen and imitate.

Sit down and listen. Listen to someone speak and write down what they are saying. You might be thinking, “Hey, I'm here to practice English speaking, not listening!” However, listening is an excellent way to improve English pronunciation.
Type words into syllables, also go to Cambridge and or Oxford dictionary on the internet and every word will have the audio, phonetics and syllables to assist pronunciation
