Dictation assignemet for Thu 13th

Hi everybody,

Here is the link to do the assignemet for this comming class (the link belongs to the tab Dictation and Transcription Practice -Ph II, in the general Lab´s blog)

 https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=d0c8389744c08cd4&id=D0C8389744C08CD4%21181#cid=D0C8389744C08CD4&id=D0C8389744C08CD4%21331

In this set work on the texts Hw 1 and Hw 2. They have their respective keys, so, you do your own corrections and then hand everything in. In the audio files you can choose to work first on the unexploded version, and then on the exploded one, similar to the dictations in class. Include the tones you perceive, and once the text + the tones satisfy you, go to the key and be your own teacher.

See you all on Thursday!

John Maidment´s Blog - Intonation

Have you realised there´s a new link? It´s online intonation practice, just for you. You´ll find a group of 8 sets. Try the first one, and once satisfied, progress to the next one. VG!

Assignement: intonational transcription

This assignement is the outcome of the work you did in class last week: on the page you hand in, include the team members name & surname, transcribe the dialogues (the one and only the one you worked with in class), and a simple justification for your tone choice.

See in Wells´book, page 91 the chart on the uses of tones - we´ll base our activities on this next class. Work out your own system of tone recognition and we´ll discuss this all together.

Welcome!
