SUMMARY:American English Vowel System (Parts 1-4)
LOCATION:Blocker Building\, Blocker Building
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Ginessa Payne\, Center for Teaching Excellence\n\
 nDescription:The vowel sounds of American English are challenging to lear
 ners of English because there are so many\, and because English spelling 
 does not convey the pronunciation predictably. This four-session series o
 f interactive workshops aims to increase attendees’ phonological awarenes
 s\, and as a result\, their listening and intelligibility.\n\nThrough a v
 ariety of activities and handouts\, attendees will become familiar with e
 ach vowel and with resources to practice listening discrimination and pro
 nunciation on their own. Each attendee has the opportunity to get persona
 lized feedback on their own pronunciation.\n\nLearning Outcomes: Particip
 ants will be able to…\n\n1. Distinguish vowel sounds from vowel letters\n
 \n2. When speaking\, control lip rounding and spreading\; control height 
 of tongue and openness of jaw\n\n3. When listening\, distinguish similar 
 vowel sounds from one another\n\n4. Use bodily-kinesthetic techniques to 
 gain conscious control of the vocal tract 5. Reduce a vowel in an unstres
 sed syllable to schwa\n\n6. Identify one digital resource to use for ongo
 ing pronunciation development\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/f472243e-f44
