Meeting Description:

A workshop on ''Teaching Phonology: The State of the Art'' will be held at the
University of Manchester on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 as a satellite event to
the 27th Manchester Phonology Meeting.

This workshop is intended to allow us to exchange ideas about what we do when
we teach phonology, what we teach and how we might tackle particular topics
and issues. We are interested in submissions that explore what, how, and/or
why phonology is taught across varied institutions and contexts. With diverse
views among researchers about the remit and basic assumptions of phonology,
against the backdrop of shifting winds in higher education, how has the
teaching of phonology evolved from how we ourselves were taught at varying
times in the past? What core topics are selected for introductory courses -
and what is left out - and how are this foundation built on in more advanced
courses? What types of assignments are given? Do you use a textbook? If so,
which one? With bimodal grade distributions being anecdotally common, how can
difficult topics be explained in more accessible ways? What other novel
teaching methods can be used?


Call for Papers:

We are open to suggestion as to what a presentation might involve and we
invite colleagues to propose something. We imagine that the session might
involve a range of types of presentation, from 10 minute descriptions of what
the syllabus is at your institution, to longer talks on pedagogical issues, or
even a panel on a particular subject. We will have up to around 4 hours during
the workshop, and we will encourage those attending to bring along their
syllabus even if they don't plan to give a talk.

In order to propose a topic, please send a PDF attachment to Yuni Kim
(y.kim at essex.ac.uk) by 28 February 2019. In no more than 250 words, you should
set out what you would like to talk about and how long you imagine you might
want to talk for. (We reserve the right to suggest a different timing if your
proposal is accepted.) In the document, please also include your name and
institution to help us ensure a varied range of perspectives.
