Pronunciation
I was lucky enough to go to an international TESOL conference held in Cairns - my first visit to the Great Barrier Reef!
There was a Pronunciation Symposium before the conference which I attended. There also seemed to be a high degree of sessions on pronunciation during the conference as well so it was great - hearing the issues (it was quite academic) and strategies. I have implemented a few of the ideas over the last 2 weeks that I came across.
I have devised an activity that the conference sparked and started to implement it:

I have devised an activity that the conference sparked and started to implement it:
- last week we went to the library and students borrowed a novel (reader) with a CD (to help them with their reading in English as well as pronunciation).
- this week I showed students how to use the Microsoft recorder and they recorded themselves reading the first chapter.
- then students uploaded their recording onto our blackboard discussion
- next week students will listen to another student's recording and write down what they hear (dictation - great for listening practice and being aware of what they sound like to other people)
We will then discuss the experience and things/words they found difficult to understand/pronounce. So far students are enjoying the activity.
Students have written introductions that they are going to put up on our wiki and I am going to get them to record their introductions and upload them onto our wiki as well.
My Adobe CS6 has arrived!!!
Yippie!
I got my Adobe CS6 a week ago. Last weekend I spent time watching some more tutorials and playing with Adobe InDesign. I am designing the "front page" ... not quite finished but I am happy with how it is going. Not really sure about the settings and dimensions I should use (for an eventual eBook) so have provisionally made it 800 px x 600 px with a "web" setting.
... also have made it a book with facing pages - is this a good idea if it will be an eBook eventually?
I made an image with the title in the top main area with three smaller sections under it that I want to make into buttons - two states (roll over and original). I have been trying to work out how to make the buttons with some strange results. If anyone knows how to do this, would love to hear from you.
This is the image for the top part of the front 'page':
The three sections that are underneath this image in the inDesign program are: Finding, Applying and Interviews ... don't have an image for the interview part yet as I haven't made the interview - don't have the people.
... I think I will have to rethink my project. It is definitely too big at the moment and not sure if I am going to get any time this term to work on it.
