Workshop followed by an official tour of the Stadbibliothek!
This workshop looks into language production from a psycholinguistic point of view. Focusing on the phonological level of language, we will briefly examine a speech production model and investigate language errors. Slips of the tongue and finding out, how they come about, give us a more accurate understanding of language processing.
The implications drawn will help in many ways, e.g. in language assessment, language teaching, and speech production in general. Both learner and teacher will profit, as they will gain a more profound understanding of possible pronunciation difficulties, thus enabling each side to monitor and rectify phonological mistakes in an easy manner.
Following the somewhat more theoretical first part of the workshop, we will have a look at some fun exercises in the second part. We will try out several phonological tasks to make teaching and learning pronunciation more effective and enjoyable.
This workshop will be followed at 5:30pm by an official tour of the Stadtbibliothek. Please indicate on registration if you wish to take the tour, there is a box to complete. The tour will take approximately 90 minutes and finish at 7 pm and is limited to a maximum of 20.
