Connected Speech

[Jessica Fan]

Reflective Questions:
1. Are you confident that you understand the core features of connected speech?
2. Have you considered which pronunciation model (Received Pronunciation, L1 accented, ELF influenced) is right for your learners?
3. What changes will I consider as a result of this workshop?

Good morning. How can we apply the teaching of connected speech in contexts of remote learning, that is to say, over video conference platforms?

Thanks

Two links from the Connected Speech masterclass:
1) a link to the British Library about British accents and dialects

2) a link with ideas to improve pronunciation by learners recording themselves speaking English
