Spoken language is like music. Participants learn how to incorporate melody, rhythm and movement into listening-speaking lessons. Activities demonstrated include scaffolding elements of speech, capturing the hidden prosodic elements of stress, intonation, and rhythm, and enabling learners to attain the music of English. Engage your visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities! The slides tell a part of the story. The physical activities during the workshop help you learn by doing. marsha@sunburstmedia.com www.youtube.com/pronunciationdoctor
4. 50-100
repetitions of a phrase generate a
“feel” for the sound, grammar, meaning
and usage
Repetition
activates
neurophysiological connections.
facilitates automaticity and flexibility.
promotes perception of allophonic
boundaries.

10. Rising
intonation: the pitch rises on the
stressed syllable of the key word in a phrase.
Falling intonation: the pitch falls on the
stressed syllable of the key word in a phrase.
If
Intonation is difficult for some people to
perceive. Phrases from a popular song may
help listeners anchor rising vs. falling pitch.
11. In
the song "Happy Birthday to you" the
syllable birth is at a higher pitch than day, so
the intonation is falling on the word
birthday.
Marsha’s version of Happy Birthday helps
learners practice the voiceless TH /θ/ sound.

A workshop
What poems, slogans, songs, physical actions do you use?
Quality choral repetition gives a statistical“feel” for the phonological, syntactic,semantic, and pragmatic aspects of language.OlleKjellin, MD Judy GilbertAll of these methods can be done without a dependence on reading and writing. It’s good to get to the physical roots of pronunciation, articulation, producing speech sounds.
Time to get up and move!Reflections: What’s the benefitof standing up? What’s the benefit of clapping? What’s the benefit of clapping in unison?
Clap out the syllables (column 1 with me, column 2 with a partner)More words:class EnglishTeachingclassesspeechlanguagepronunciation activitiesvisuallaugh laughterintelligible approaches multitude promote positiveauditoryOption: Use your hand to denote the stress: open=stressed, closed=closed
Use a rubber band as you “sing” without the song lyrics:Long long long short long Long short long shortl-o-ngShortshortshortshortshortshortshortshortshortshortshortshortLong short long shortl-o-ng
Use a rubber band as you sing without the song lyrics:LA LA LA la LALA la LA la LA-A-A-Ala la la la la la la la la la la la LA la LA la LA-A-A-ARhythm: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3,
Listen to the examples. Even: no pitch change during the word. Rising: pitch rises during the vowel of a monosyllabic word or the stressed syllable of a multisyllablic word. Falling: pitch rises on the stressed syllable and then falls to the end of the word or utterance.Next, listen to the way I say each word (not on screen) and indicate what you hear by showing me 1, 2, 3 fingers. For more practice, go to www.youtube.com/user/pronunciationdoctor; within Pronunciation Doctor’s Channel, search on the term “intonation”.
Sing the song. Sing key words many times to hear and feel the falling pitch on “BIRTHDAY”.
Singthe song. Sing key words many times to hear and feel the rising pitch on “COUNTRY” and “ ‘TIS OF THEE”.

I hope I’ve provided useful ideas about creating and choosing the best materials for speaking and pronunciation, from the no-tech stress stretch, to the low-tech rubber band, to videos that provide pronunciation instruction, to online quizzes for repeated practice, to software that provides visual-motion animation to support auditory and oral practice, to interactive software that provide learners immediate feedback. Besides instructional videos produced in a studio, I have over a thousand videos on my Pronunciation Doctor Youtube site that you are all welcome to access for free. Here’s where you can catch me at the conference as well as online afterwards.
