Mike Burri, Karen Rauser, Brian Teaman and I have submitted the following proposal to do a workshop
on Tuesday or Wednesday prior to the 2013 TESOL conference in Dallas. Chances of it being accepted are so-so, best case, but hope springs eternal, eh . . . (Actually, this basic workshop is ready to go anytime, so if you'd like one done at your school by the "H Team," let me know!)
"This day-long, pre-conference Institute presents a haptic (movement + touch)-based approach
to essential, integrated pronunciation instruction, applicable for learners middle-school
age and above--designed for use in all skill areas. Especially appropriate for
non-native English speaking instructors, one key innovation is the use of touch
to enhance both learning and recall. Materials provided include a DVD of
techniques presented."
If it is accepted and we decide to do it, join us. If it isn't--or we don't, we'll probably put it on in a hotel nearby, regardless, in conjunction with the initial meeting of the (currently and somewhat tentatively entitled) International Madcap Association of HICPRO (Haptic-integrated Clinical Pronunciation Researchers & Outliers)--verbalized proudly, something like: "I am a hick-pro!" Keep in touch.
