You must log in to view sessions Pronunciation College & University Education Practice-Oriented Short Workshop

This pronunciation workshop is designed to let teachers retake ownership of the classroom pedagogy when it comes to pronunciation at the phonemic level. Teachers will learn haptic pronunciation techniques, and by the end of the workshop will be able to convey mastery of the North American /th/, /f/, /v/, /l/, /n/ and /r/ to students, who will gain autonomy over their own pronunciation proficiency and awareness of where their current pronunciation problems lay.
