Sendai JALT:

Actually teaching listening: The importance of script and of suprasegmental phonology

Date: Sunday, August 26th, 2007 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Alistair Graham Marr

Description:
This talk examines how you can go beyond giving practice practice in listening and actually teach listening skills. Knowledge of script is something that can be taught that helps students with their top-down predictive skills. Teaching supra-segmental phonology helps students with their bottom-up decoding skills.
