| Description: |
The vowel sounds of American English are challenging to learners of English because there are so many, and because English spelling does not convey the pronunciation predictably. This four-session series of interactive workshops aims to increase attendees' phonological awareness, and as a result, their listening and intelligibility.
Through a variety of activities and handouts, attendees will become familiar with each vowel and with resources to practice listening discrimination and pronunciation on their own. Each attendee has the opportunity to get personalized feedback on their own pronunciation.
Those who attend Part 1 will automatically be registered for Parts 2-4 at the same time and place the following weeks. |
