| Key Concepts for Teaching Pronunciation--Section 2-WAKE COUNTY PROGRAM | ||
| (Cathy Boatwright) | ||
| Class ID# 12688 | ||
| Why do some Spanish speakers say "espanish" instead of Spanish? Why do some Japanese speakers say "flies" when they mean "fries"? As an ESL/EFL teacher, how can I assist these learners with more target-like American English pronunciation? This practical, hands-on course will answer these questions while guiding you through the essential concepts for teaching pronunciation in an ESL/EFL classroom at the sound, word, phrase, and discourse levels. You will leave this course with many new ideas for practical activities that can be adapted to a variety of instructional settings and language proficiency levels. This course is required for certificate students who entered the program after July 1, 2008. Students who entered the program before this date are still welcome to take the course for elective credit. Cathy Boatwright has an M.A. in ESL and Second Language Studies from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She has been teaching American English pronunciation to international students and linguistics to ESL licensure candidates for the past five years at NC State where she served as the Assistant Director of ESL Teaching Training. She has also taught in public schools in the United States and in Thailand. | ||
