Bio of the Presenter

William Acton, Ph.D., is the MA TESOL Program Director at Trinity Western University (TWU). His research and publications have been in the area of pronunciation and the role of the body in learning language. His blog is located at https://hipoeces.blogspot.ca

Abstract of the Webinar

This webinar focuses on several useful techniques for improving key aspects of the English pronunciation of Arabic speaking L1 students in academic courses. One innovative feature of the webinar is that the techniques presented all involve the systematic use of gesture in promoting learning and memory for new pronunciation. The webinar also has features of a workshop in that participants get to experience the techniques and discuss just how the procedures might be implemented in their classrooms. After the webinar, access to video models of the techniques demonstrated will be made available for asynchronous viewing. Prior to the webinar, participants will be given a short "homework" assignment to better prepare themselves for understanding the research base of the method and key activities. 

"I often begin workshops or papers with the comment that in about 40 years in the field I have had just one idea: that the systematic use of body movement is essential to effective and efficient pronunciation instruction. That has never been more relevant than today, with the general de-emphasis on pronunciation and introduction of technology into the field. From both perspectives, the "haptic" perspective approach developed here offers great promise."  -- Bill Acton
