oh my God i love English. I've been learning English since 2010 when i was graduating University. every day i watch on TV and You Tube. it's good for my English. i can speak English like native speaker. believe myself 100 per cent.
I love this information for learning English, or in many cases most languages. Judy explains to pay attention to the musical of cues of the language, pitch change, stressed syllables, length of syllables etc. I am fascinated by language and how one learns them. This great lecture, has inspired me to become an ESL teacher.
Thank you Judy, for teaching about the importance of prosody. I use your Prosody Pyramid with international professionals every week. Understanding and using stress, pitch and rhythm always helps them speak comprehensibly.
Love it! "simplicity is key". I love the approach identify the problems and fix them quickly. This is working great with my international students. Thank you.
it is enlightening an educative material. it took me back to my days when i was a student, and i want finish my english studies and get the master degree but am working different shifts during the week.
The 'English as a Lingua Franca' issue has also posed difficult questions for instructors as to ultimately what language pronunciation models are most realistic, attainable and useful for learners across the globe.
I'm not a native English speaker, but I will try to explain my point of view about the accent matter. Most English learners need to have a good English to purposes work, so we see accent as this was the cloths that we wear. A bad accent is like if you wear a pijama for a job interview, probably your grammar is good enough, but the interviewer impression will not be good, even when he/she can understand you prefectly. That's why accent can be an important issue What do you think?
I absolutely agree with you. Having an accent isn't compulsory, but it definitely makes things easier when looking for a job, speaking in front of an audience, being interviewed, teaching, etc. Phonetics and English Phonology was my favourite course at university and it's what I'm curently teaching. My students really appreciate it when their lecturers have native-like accents. It encourages them to achieve a similiar or better level.
Very interesting! I completely understand and agree with her point about not teaching individual sounds but rather context. It also shows me how important music is for enhancing speaking ability (in more ways than one). Also, that repetition can be strengthening rather than boring. Absolutely fascinating presentation.
This approaching is important to spread English around the world. We need just communicate to each other, we need be clear, concise, not cryptographic in a message as happens in a conversation, so that the sound of letters, syllables, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and nouns must seems clear to a English globalization. this means: if the native speakers do not care to the clear message, we, foreign people will.
I need some helo on the following sentences: 38:50 I thought because it is some British ___ she is talking about gahment 49:50 the thing about schwa, is that schwa is a very ___ vowel 1:02:05 If you try to teach all the sound you learned, if you took a ____ course
+trvvc 1. she is saying her student pronounced 'government' as 'gahment' 2. schwa is "he mid-central, neutral vowel sound typically occurring in unstressed syllables in English, however spelled, as the sound of a in alone and sofa, e in system, i in easily, o in gallop, u in circus. 2. the phonetic symbol ə, used to represent this sound." 3. 'if you took a phonetics course'
these are about 'talking the emotion', I think. One should know choose the most fully emotionally content word. In my country, there are many local language that have their own character pronounciation.
Great presentation! I've been actually looking for something like this for a while.It's important to always try improve your teaching skills and methods:)
If you are seriously interested in teaching and/or learning any language, beginning with the pronunciation, you may be interested in this article. Kjellin, O. (1999). Accent Addition: Prosody and Perception Facilitates Second Language Learning. In O. Fujimura, B. D. Joseph, & B.

27:00 As an English teacher in France, "qu'est-ce que c'est" is something I have to text on my phone. So for my auto-spell, I just type "keska" and it fills in all this craziness for me! lol...
Also, the reason English spelling got screwed up is because of the Great Vowel Shift that happened to the language during the 1600's. Spanish and Italian did not experience this vowel shift and thus vowel sound stayed phonetically the same as in Latin. Also the key in English is reduction and linking. Rule 1, reduce reduce reduce except for the main stressed vowel or secondary if any.
shanealbritt-this is an old lady, I'm curious to see You giving a presentation at her age, and personally I think this workshop is quite interesting,with activities she is presenting.Plus she is not teaching kids who are just waiting for the end of the lesson,so bored that You have to shout and speak in 'capital letters',but experienced proffesionals.
she didn't avoid d qn. She did make a point tt pronunciatn is influenced by d accent n tt it's not easy for those of different accents to sound like native speakers. She said English speakers also hav different accents n so do ppl of different language backgrounds when speaking English as a foreign language. Regardless of d accent, for ppl to convey their message clearly, they need to learn to adjust their flaws (which could be due to their accent) to sound practical, rather than good or bad.
Reminds me of Pink Panther Steve Martin's hamburger scene. I used to speak Philippine Phonetic English because nobody made it clear to me that English is not a phonetic language. And that there are approx 14 vowel sounds in English as compared to five in Filipino. That there are a few differences in how some consonant sounds are produced. I learned about IPA from JenniferESL and RachelsEnglish YT channels, Wikipedia, and Dictionary-com. 80% Filipino accent is just mispronunciation.
Absolutely fascinating and enlightening lecture for SLA teachers. BUT, please Prof. Judy Gilbert, 'sekolah' in Bahasa Malay does not come from English. Previous colonial forces in the Malay península also left lexical traces. Portuguese being the first European force there has many lexical items in Malay. Sekolah is one of them - ESCOLA, the inicial vowel not being voiced in European Portuguese. So, no English origin to this Malay word. But yes, Malay phonetic traces in the inserto of /e/ between the two consonants.

I'm not native speaker and from my point of view, I like very much Tom's pronunciation... BUT the JUDY's pronunciation, my God! is like a DRUNK WOMAN. She speak with a mouth almost closed. Is she drunk?
Please, more respect. Is seems quite clear to me she must have suffered a stroke or any other illness that has affected the flexibility of her face and jaó muscles. Be inclusive!
I don’t think she has clear pronunciation and why should british or American accent be the norm, why can’t Indian accent be the norm which has a total different prosody
jorgenio11 she’s just old, I’m a native speaker and her enunciation is clear. However, it seems she might blend some vowel sounds together and is relatively monotone- her tonal shifts in speaking are very minute.
I'd appreciate if you dont zoom in and out the camera all the time. Pleave it fixed where we can see the speaker and the screen. The rest is very good. Thanks :)

I´ve always taught following Clear Speech by Garland. She´s a brilliant and practical author.

I thank you for this course. I loved the pronunciation of speakers. I was understanding almost everything and was very happy about this.
In English new school everything is likable keep it up . from Kenya Mombasa - Coast.East Africa.CHEERS.
I think Dr. Gilbert gives some excellent suggestions to teach pronunciation especially the kazoo. I think you'll find it interesting!
i like the content and the purpose because all teacher need to know widely required about pronunciation... thank a lot....
Very interesting! I completely understand and agree with her point about not teaching individual sounds but rather context. It also shows me how important music is for enhancing speaking ability (in more ways than one). Also, that repetition can be strengthening rather than boring. Absolutely fascinating presentation.
Nice video,very illustrative for all people that think pronunciation is the key of good English.

Thanks for posting this!! Very helpful for Cambridge Delta Module 2 Phonology Systems lesson.
Good talk. Verifies what I have always said. It's the melody that makes the music.
One word, Excellent! I enjoy this video so much.
What a brilliant lecture! I am just wondering if kazoos are not available then teaching students to HUM to achieve a similar result might work....
Excelent. First time someone understood me. Like a miracle.
A very good way of learning Pronunciation. Thanks for sharing!!!
these are about 'talking the emotion', I think. One should know choose the most fully emotionally content word. In my country, there are many local language that have their own character pronounciation.

Absolutely Right. Me and my husband always say that!
Lady teaches importance of pronunciation, but her own French is pronounced badly, despite the phrase being quite basic.
god bless you greeting from saudi arabia
I'm not native speaker and from my point of view, I like very much Tom's pronunciation... BUT the JUDY's pronunciation, my God! is like a DRUNK WOMAN. She speak with a mouth almost closed. Is she drunk?
jorgenio11 you need to respect
You need to respect
Please, more respect. Is seems quite clear to me she must have suffered a stroke or any other illness that has affected the flexibility of her face and jaó muscles. Be inclusive!
