Applied Phonetics & Phonology, Hanyang TESOL, 2009-2012

For more specific materials on pronunciation, see the Phonology resources page, which includes:

• Segmentals - vowels and consonants
• Prosody - intonation, rhythm, stress
• Prosodic effects - natural speech phenomena such as assimilation (blending), linking (liaison), contractions, and others

1 Course materials and intro

• Midterm exam
• Side (sagittal) view of vocal organs
• IPA chart (way more detail than you'll ever need)
• Typical ESL/EFL pronunciation issues of Koreans
• Course syllabus
• IPA exercise #2 (pre-midterm practice)

2 Pedagogy

• Group activities for language teaching
• General types of group activities (general / college education - some good ideas for primary / secondary education as well)
• CLT / group activities
• CLT / TBLT activities (part 2)
• Rubrics: systematic and time-saving methods of grading and providing better feedback

2.1 Pronunciation teaching videos

• Teaching vowel phonemes (so-so)
• Teaching linking
• Intonation stress (boring)
• Pronunciation: Compound stress
• Teaching lexical stress
• Breathing techniques (e.g., aspirated consonants)

2.2 Other videos

• English phonology for Koreans (CTL)
• Conducting classes & lectures in English (for teachers) (CTL)
• Freedom from English (세바시): A talk by Kent Lee on how not to learn English, and how to learn it the right way - so that it does not become a form of bondage or slavery, but a useful tool for you. A talk from the 세바시 (세상을 바꾸는 시간 15분, Korean CBS-TV).
