Welcome to 'Teaching Prominence and Intonation Through Shadowing and Open Scenes,' a comprehensive course designed for language educators, speech coaches, and teachers who want to elevate their students' spoken English fluency. Mastering pronunciation goes beyond just articulating individual sounds; it requires a deep understanding of prominence (stress) and intonation (tune). In this engaging course, you will discover highly effective, interactive methods to teach these crucial elements of spoken language.

Through a blend of theoretical foundations and practical applications, you will learn how to identify default prominence patterns, recognize when prominence shifts, and understand the melody at the end of phrases. The course introduces two powerful pedagogical tools: shadowing television and film scenes, and utilizing open scenes. You will get hands-on practice marking transcripts and shadowing popular media, such as clips from Everybody Loves Raymond and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Furthermore, you will explore how to implement 'open scenes' and 'readers theater' cycles in your own classroom to make learning dynamic and fun.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with a robust toolbox of activities, baseline and final assessment strategies, and the confidence to teach prominence and intonation effectively. Whether you are teaching ESL/EFL students or coaching actors, this course will transform the way you approach spoken language instruction. Join us to unlock the secrets of natural, expressive communication!
