PHONETICS TEACHING AND LEARNING: RECENT TRENDS, NEW DIRECTIONS

Special Session at the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences

Hong Kong, August 17-21, 2011 http://www.icphs2011.hk/

Discussion Forum

 

The special session will conclude with a chaired Discussion Forum, and you are invited to submit proposals (directly to the session organisers) for topics to be included. Topics of wide application will clearly be most suitable. For example:

• How do the tools of Web 2.0 (cloud computing, social networks, video sharing) impact on phonetics teaching and learning?
• What can neuroscience tell us about language aptitude and talent?
• Are pedagogical issues adequately represented in the remits of our professional bodies, journals, grant-awarding bodies, and research assessment panels?

Suggestions for discussion topics should be sent to ptlc-submissions@langsci.ucl.ac.uk. Please put "IPChS Discussion Forum" in the subject line.
