Subject: Online Seminar - A primer on Second Language English Pronunciation Assessment

 
This presentation will provide an overview of fundamental considerations in
research on pronunciation assessment in adult second language learners of
English. We will begin by overviewing the ways in which pronunciation
instructional priorities and assessment targets have shifted over time,
including reasons for its neglect and resurgence and competing tensions
between key global constructs. Content coverage will also include, in brief,
sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives as they relate to standards
and learner attainment, human evaluative judgments and the transformative role
of technology in the assessment terrain, and finally, the challenges that
global Englishes poses in transnational communication and developing authentic
pronunciation assessments.

This online seminar is hosted by Centre for Language Education Research at
Queen's University Belfast in the UK.
