Subject: Re: [Edling] Reading list for PhD students in SLA/Ed Ling.<div><div class="h5"><br><br><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif"><div><span>Perhaps PhD students can figure out how to apply "linguistics" to the big new initiative in US education called "common core". Under teaching "phonetics" the only application is in k-1. Do they even know what "phonetics" is. My take is that the only answer is truespel phonetics, which is the only English-based phonetic notation simple enough for kids in k-1. It then is not to be forgotten but expanded to replace dictionary keys as a notation that can actually be useful because it's keyboard and English friendly.</span></div>
