In this workshop, common pronunciation difficulties of Vietnamese speakers will be reviewed and communicative activities to address these problem areas will be explored and practiced. Participants will also review a series of activities to understand how suprasegmentals (syllables, word stress, sentence stress, speech rhythm, thought groups, focus words, final sounds, linking, intonation, reductions) can affect comprehensibility. They will also practice assessing the pronunciation difficulties of students and consider how pronunciation is addressed and evaluated in the EFL curriculum

Inspired by the true life experiences of its title character, Antwone Fisher tells the compelling story of a troubled sailor (Luke) who is ordered to see a naval psychiatrist (Washington) about his volatile temper.

Many teachers include student oral presentations in the curriculum as a way to assess speaking and other skills through direct observation of a student’s performance. However, student presentations tend to be relatively ineffective as both a class activity and as a means of assessment because of inadequate advance preparation on the part of both teachers and students and because teachers often fail to provide meaningful feedback. This workshop will examine the role of the teacher, the presenter, and the audience through an exploration of the characteristics of successful presentations, appropriate methods of organization, and effective linguistic cues. With careful planning and analysis, the student presentation can be transformed into a useful and valid measure of language proficiency.
