---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AH-EPS, pronounced [eyps], is a new
"haptic" way to teach and learn pronunciation
that uses video, movement
and touch.
AH-EPS
helps
·
Students learn and remember pronunciation better.
·
Instructors become more effective at providing
feedback on pronunciation.
·
Students become better at correcting their own
pronunciation.
·
Students become better at using improved pronunciation
in speaking and conversation.
AH-EPS
does that by using touch to
·
Bring together the senses for more focused
learning
·
Enhance attention and concentration by managing
emotional and visual distraction
·
Make kinesthetic learning more effective and
consistent
·
Engage more of the entire body and brain in the
process
Doing
AH-EPS is a little like
·
The sign languages used by the deaf or baseball
players, and “Tai Chi” moves used in martial arts or boxing
·
Doing a computer or “smart phone” game. You learn
by doing exercises with special hand movements, sitting or standing in front of
a video!
AH-EPS
has been used successfully
·
In ESL and EFL classes,
·
By teachers who have little experience with
pronunciation teaching
·
In classrooms with students, middle school age and
older, and for personal pronunciation improvement by advanced learners
The Format
·
AH-EPS has 10
modules, covering essential topics of English pronunciation: vowels,
stress, rhythm, intonation, fluency, expressiveness and selected consonants. Each
module takes about one week to complete.
·
In the 10, 30-minute Video Teaching
Lessons, students are trained in using haptic-based techniques that help
them learn, remember and recall new and corrected pronunciation.
·
After students complete a Teaching
Video Lesson (either in class or on their own) instructors can then do one
of the following:
·
Use the techniques and sounds from that lesson later in class when
providing integrated feedback on pronunciation or introducing new vocabulary.
·
Follow up by using the 3, 30-minute, Student Practice Video lessons
of that module in class or assign them to be done as homework
for additional practice.
