In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore phonological changes—the stuff of L2 pronunciation problems—by seeing them played out in English humor: What’s a typical diet of a sea monster? Fish and ships. Alveo-palatal fricative vs affricate: /ʃ/ vs /tʃ/ (typical of Spanish speakers). Come enjoy a bingo-like ‘fun’ology activity.
With over 20 years’ experience teaching English to students at the high school, university, and graduate levels, Linda’s passion is understanding phonology, with an eye to helping students improve pronunciation.
