For homework, please prepare the following:
- read the article "Stress Tests" featured in the file of the same name on Ilias. This article is rich in examples and see if you can provide a few more in support of the importance of addressing pronunciation and intonation in languge instruction and language learning materials. (Bonus question: why is this column called "Johnson"?)
- read the file "linking sounds" and do exercise 26.2 from the "linking sounds exercises" file.
- read the file "should companies track employee health" and consider how you respond were you to role play as a boss/supervisor and as an employee in two different debate rounds.
- watch this Good Morning Britain debate: Should Criminals Have a Curfew? Copenhagen's New Law Sparks Debate | Good Morning Britain - YouTube (This playlist Should Criminals Have a Curfew? Copenhagen's New Law Sparks Debate | Good Morning Britain - YouTube might be useful to you in preparing your prepared debate/in terms of supplementary content. There is excellent legal language used in the curfew debate, for example, that is transferrable to any number of debates that reference the law.)
Make sure you're prepared to debate the following questions in next week's class:
1. Should pronunciation and intonation be addressed more in the language learning classroom?
2. Should companies track employee health?
3. Should criminals have a curfew?
