Wonderful job yesterday on your speeches! You worked very hard and it showed. Well done!
We need to think about the next speech you'd like to make. Another persuasive speech would be a good.
Any suggestions?

A Couple of Real Cool Sites to check out
This is an amazing place to listen to other people say words in so many languages--some I've never even heard of.
http://www.forvo.com/
If you don't mind the endless ads--I do--then this is a really great place to learn to pronounce, use the IPA, define and use words. But the ads!
http://www.merriam-webster.com/
I love the vocabulary game and my score!
http://www.merriam-webster.com/quiz/index.htm
How do you say that? the speakers have a slight British accent but this is immensely helpful.

Learning to transcribe in IPA --quiz 3/22
Great but challenging class today. Great job everyone! Your transcription of the poem, "We Real Cool" was fantastic. Please go to the L4T blog to check out the videos you saw in class and more.

Thursday, 3/22, be prepared for a quiz, similar to what we did today. You should get familiar with the IPA, or phonetic alphabet, in order to pronounce correctly new words from the dictionary.

Welcome to our class!
Spring 2012, Communication and the Non-Native Speaker: HUL 100
Ms. Nancy De Pas Tuesday
and Thursday 3-4:30 room 217
College Now: La Guardia Community College
Required Texts and Materials:
·
Teacher created handouts and
photocopies
·
Photocopies of excerpts from Accurate
English by Rebecca Dauer and Beyond Language by Deena Levine and
Mara Adelman
· A good paper dictionary such as Longman Dictionary of American English
or The
American Heritage Dictionary for Learners of English
· Flash drive and/or iPod type recording device to record interviews and
speeches
Course Description:
This is a course for
advanced Newcomers HS students who want to improve their listening, speaking
and communicative skills. This course is designed to help English Language Learners
interact with native and non-native speakers of English more effectively and
fluently in interpersonal, academic and business settings. The sound systems and patterns of American
English, along with cultural contexts of speech are addressed in class
activities, homework, video clips, blog, dramatizations and speech presentations
throughout the semester. The course will
use the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), along with exercises in
listening and non-verbal communicative skills, to promote self-awareness, self-monitoring
and accurate comprehension of English.
Objectives:
- Students will improve their
pronunciation of Standard English
- Students will explore uses of
audio technology and reflect on how such technology can help them
improve their oral communication skills
- Students will learn to work
collaboratively and give
constructive feedback to their peers
Attendance:
Attendance and
participation are important aspects of an oral communication course. Be here,
be here on time, be prepared. Participate
as much as possible and do your homework. If you miss three or more classes,
your grade will be affected. Three
latenesses can considered one full absence.
Assignments must be
prepared and turned in on time.
Presentations or assignments will not be accepted after the due date. It
is as important to be able to hear and see others’ presentations as it is to do
one’s own.
GRADING:
Participation in class
and completion of assignments are of primary importance. Reading the text(s) every week is mandatory
to maintain good discussion skills and to succeed in potential “pop” quizzes on
the IPA communication concepts and definitions of terms.
Participation
