ReSOUNDing Remedies 

Can't tell your "laughed" from your "left"? Your "right,, from your "light"? Both at segmental and suprasegmental levels, English pronunciation poses difficulties for language learners. There is no magical method for perfecting it; however, well-informed teachers can guide students in achieving comfortable intelligibility. In this workshop, the presenter will briefly contrast English and Korean sound systems, and moving bottom-up, engage participants in activities she has used successfully in teaching pronunciation at three different levels: individual sound and sound clusters; word; and phrase or sentence.  This presentation is recommended for all teachers but is more suitable for those teaching Asian students in middle school and up. Participants will receive a hefty handout- in addition, supplementary material, both academic- and activity-oriented, will be available upon request. Get ready to twist your tongue, move your mouth, and put the "fun" into phonology!
