Shirley's workshop
Yesterday morning we had a very interesting workshop about american pronunciation. I think it was one of the best workshops we have had because it was very practical, useful and funny. I enjoyed a lot. Now I will try to put into practise all the things I have learnt with my students. I pay attention to all the things Shirley did such as using different activities to awake all the intelligences we have some of them more developed than others. The games were also very interesting and the jigsaw was important too. I also discover how important the stress can be mainly the american stress which is in some ways different from the british one we learnt. The pitch changes are also important because the English melody comes from them. I aslo learnt amazing things such as not stressing all the words not to sound angry. Thanks Shirley for the workshop it was fantastic
