The Inseparability of Reading and Pronunciation
I ran this webinar twice, once on 15 March 2025 for the Pronunciation Special Interest Group (PronSIG) as part of IATEFL, as well as on 16 April 2025 for Trinity College London as part of their Transformative Teacher series.
Read a review of the webinar for Trinity College London here which Sandra Roggenkamp wrote for the ELTABB Journal.
"Music is like a langauge" - indeed it is! What can language teachers learn from musical pedagogy and training.
13 July, 2024.
In this workshop we explored engaged in some fun music making activities to explore 10 strategies musicians use to learn music.
These 10 strategies include imitation, analysis, manipulation, composition, and these are extremely effective when learning the sounds and systems of a new language.
