Then I ask them to record two minutes of conversation between at least two people who are not them (they can be a participant if there are two other people), and then transcribe it using the transcription symbols I’ve provided.<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>For phonetics/ phonology, I give students a handout with the IPA chart on it, we talk about/ read about the topic; and then in class together we complete a 1 page exercise that includes (1) write the IPA symbol for your pronunciation of the following sounds (e.g. “t” as in top), (2) identify the place of articulation for these sounds, (3) split the following words into their phonemes (e.g. <span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>t h | i | n | k), and (4) identify the English letters in your way of reading/ speaking that correspond with the following IPA symbols. I’ve found that most students can’t do this on their own without former training, but going through it together—and discussing pronunciation differences among dialects/ accents that become apparent as students attempt this—at least gives a sense of critical distance from received ideas about orthography and phonics; and then I discuss examples of sounds that exist in other languages that don’t exist in English.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I hope this is helpful!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Take care,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Steve<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:#4472C4'>Steven P.
