Free webinar with Lucy Pickering, the author of Discourse Intonation (2018), who will talk to IATEFL Pronunciation SIG (PronSIG) and answer the participants’ questions about intonation!
Date: 20 November 2021 (Saturday), 14:00-15:00 UK time
Abstract:
What is intonation? Is it important to teach my students about intonation? How can I integrate it into my classes? What should I focus on? If these questions have ever crossed your mind, you’re not alone. For many of us, intonation is a grey area, rarely touched upon in any depth in our teacher training. With few of our most reached for coursebooks providing clear information or practical activities on it, teachers frequently find themselves without a clear understanding of what it is or how it should be taught. If that describes you, come along to this free session and bring all of your unanswered intonation questions to pose to our expert, Lucy Pickering, author of Discourse Intonation (2018).
