Teaching Illocutionary Listening Skills: Often Overlooked, Always Essential, Ultimately Teachable
viernes, el 9 de mayo de 2014 a las 15:30–16:15 EDT
Ashland
Session Abstract
Intonation plays important, but often overlooked roles in conveying and interpreting implied meaning. Textbooks highlight intonation’s role in conveying attitudes or emotions, while learners report not getting the message despite understanding the words. This session relates empirical findings to practical, engaging activities for systematically integrating intonation instruction into core lessons.
