Friday's class

Hi!!!!

You won't have regular classes on Friday with Peter since he is going to be absent. BUT those of you who have to sit for the make up exam can attend a class I'm going to teach from 9 to 11.30. I have chosen that timetable since I know some of you have classes from 8 to 10 or from 10 to 12. Therefore, all of you will be able to attend to AT LEAST one hour of the class. I will ONLY teach the class if at least SIX of you sign in to attend it. You will be able to register until Thursday 14.00 hs. To do so, I have left a list on the board, but you can also register here.

REMEMBER! I have made a cd with all the diction material of the subject. You can either give me a cd to record it OR buy it in architecture (I will leave the cd there tomorrow).

See you around.

2) Why is English rhythm more difficult to teach than other aspects of phonology?
3) Explain the 5 types of exercises Chela de Rodriguez uses in order to teach ER.
4) What assumptions about the teaching of ER do the results of her research suggest?

2) Complete assignments on stress 1 and 2. You should read the first four pages featuring theory on English stress.

Best!
Happy Easter!!
