I'm giving three talks with Amanda Baker at the upcoming TESOL Convention in Chicago, USA (March 27-30, 2018). Here are the session details, including presentation summaries:

Enhancing Learners' Pragmatic Competence Using a Haptic Approach
Thursday, March 29, 2018: 13:00-13:45 
E264 (McCormick Place, Lakeside Center, East) 
  • This session provides training in using haptic (movement + touch) techniques to teach speech acts to ELLs. These techniques are used to foreground intonational features (pitch, volume, stress) that can be mapped haptically onto existing speech acts (e.g., apologies, requests) to develop learners’ pragmatic competence.

Pronunciation Teacher Education: Researching a Blended Online and On-Campus Design
Friday, March 30, 2018: 11:30-12:15 
N137 (McCormick Place, North Building) 
  • This presentation explores the development of a blended delivery system for teaching L2 pronunciation pedagogy in a TESOL teacher education program. The impact of this system on graduate student learning for both on-campus and online-only students is analysed and implications for teacher education programs are discussed.

Learning to Teach English Pronunciation: From Student to Novice Teacher
Friday, March 30, 2018: 14:00-14:45 
N138 (McCormick Place, North Building) 
  • Few studies have examined the connection between pronunciation teacher preparation and actual teaching practices. This session presents a longitudinal study exploring how the practices of novice instructors developed and how that development related to their graduate education. Following an overview of the findings, implications for language teacher education are discussed.
