| 東京都立東村山西高等学校 佐藤文雄 Welcome to the Zen-ei-ren's homepage. I am very happy to inform you that we will hold the Zen-ei-ren's 56th National Conference and Workshops in Tokyo on November 25 , 26 in 2006. The Concept is "Toward the spread of English education considering the viewpoint of Global Citizenship." We are planning to have a discussion for the development of all-around English skills and communication abilities. It is four years since the Course of Study now in effect emphasizing practical communication abilities in foreign languages was implemented in junior high schools and it is three years in senior high schools. A lot of attention is now paid to English teaching. English is taught to many elementary-school children in the Period of General studies and there are a lot of discussion on whether the subject of English should be compulsory in elementary schools. On-the-job training program for all teachers of English in junior and senior high schools has been carried out all over Japan under the Strategic Plan to cultivate Japanese with practical English abilities, which the Ministry of Education announced four years ago. On the first day of Tokyo Conference and Workshops we will have a lecture by Dr. Richard Cauldwell, ex-professor at Birmingham University in England, who has a good knowledge of English teaching in Japan , a demonstration by a senior high school teacher and a video presentation by a junior high school teacher. On the second day, we will offer two parts of workshops which are divided into four sections of elementary ,junior-high , senior-high schools and general affairs. In the elementary-school section a teaching method for English is taken up as a theme, and in the junior-and senior-high school sections we would like to discuss teaching methods for listening,speaking, reading and writing ,their evaluation and so on. In addition, there are seven workshops for specific themes. We are heartily looking forward to your attending our Conference and Workshops. Thank you very much. 全英連の活動に日頃よりご理解・ご協力をいただきありがとうございます。 この度、全英連では平成18年11月25〜26日(土、日)に第56回の全国大会を東京で開催致します。 今回は「Global Citizenship を視野においた英語教育を目指して」を大会コンセプトに掲げ、総合的な英語力やコミュニケーション能力の育成を目指した協議をしたいと考えています。今、英語教育に対する関心が高まっています。実践的コミュニケーション能力の育成を重視した現行の学習指導要領の実施から中学校では4年、高校では3年が経ちます。多くの小学校で総合的な学習の時間を利用して英語教育が行われ、小学校での英語の必修化についても活発に議論されています。文部科学省の「英語が使える日本人」の育成のための戦力構想に基づき、教員の資質向上のための研修も全国各地で行われています。 今回の東京大会では、一日日にイギリスのバーミンガム大学で教鞭をとられ、日本の英語教育にも造詣が深いRichard Cauldwell 氏の講演や、授業実演があります。二日目は小学校、中学校、高校、共通のそれぞれの分科会と7テーマ別にワークショップがあります。小学校の分化会では英語指導をテーマにし、中学校と高校の分科会では4技能の指導と評価などをテーマにしたほか、多くの有益なテーマを用意しています。ワークショップセミナーではさまざまな実践的な指導法の工夫などをテーマに取りあげました。 ぜひ全国からたくさんの皆様に参加していただき、お互いが啓発しあい、研修の成果として今後の教育活動に生かしていただければと念じております。新しい試みとして、土・日曜日の開催としました。皆様の参加申込を心からお待ちしております。 |

Pronunciation for Speaking and Listening:
Making the most of your textbook.
Dr. Richard Cauldwell

| Pronunciation and listening are often thought
of as separate skills of different
types.
Pronunciation is often paired with
writing
as a 'productive skill' and listening
is
often paired with reading as a 'receptive
skill'. But I believe that the proper
pairings
should be reading/writing, and pronunciation/listening.
In my presentation I will focus on
the latter
pairing. Pronunciation and listening
are
two sides of the same coin - the coin
being
'speech'. In teaching English we need
to
recognise how closely related the two
sides
are, thus I believe it helps to think
of
pronunciation and listening not as
two skills,
but as a single skill, called 'handling
speech'.
We have to handle speech both with
our mouths
and with our ears: our mouths have
to produce
natural, intelligible, interesting
speech;
our ears have to perceive and understand
the stream of speech with its wide
variety
of speeds and accents. The information we give students about handling speech should be consistent, in that it should be equally helpful to both sides of the coin, to both listening and pronunciation. However, our pronunciation work often conflicts with our listening work: the more carefully we teach accurate pronunciation, the more we are giving inaccurate information about the stream of speech that we have to deal with as listeners. This is because the stream of speech radically changes the soundshapes of words, making them very different from the stable careful soundshapes that we practise in pronunciation work. The soundshapes that we practise in pronunciation work are rare. The result is that we disable students from being effective listeners. My task at this conference is to demonstrate ways in which we can combine pronunciation and listening work which will make pronunciation more natural, and listening easier, and make the teaching of 'handling speech' more consistent. Using recordings, I shall demonstrate the fact that most often, the soundshapes of words do not resemble their careful dictionary forms which we use in pronunciation exercises. Most often they are shorter, quicker, and blended in with words that come before and after them. I shall also demonstrate that any single sentence can be spoken in a variety of different ways. The key feature of normal speech is that it is fluid, flexible and streamlike. I shall then demonstrate how we can use this streamlike flexibility to our advantage in constructing pronunciation activities from the materials contained in textbooks. These activities will promote listening and pronunciation skills equally. I shall present a new teaching tool 'the five part pattern' which will enable you to take a sentence from your textbook and turn that sentence into a pronunciation exercise which will replicate those features of speech which (a) make speech sound natural and interesting and (b) provide practice for the listener in terms of the stream of speech. The 'five part pattern' is one that you will be able to use on many occasions, with any textbook. I shall demonstrate this pattern using materials taken from Junior High School and Senior High School textbooks. Bio Data I have taught English in France, Hong Kong, Japan, and the UK. I spent five years in Japan teaching first at the British Council in Tokyo, then at the University of Kobe. On my return to the UK in 1989, I studied for a PhD with David Brazil at the University of Birmingham. It was at this university that I worked in the English for International Students Unit for eleven years. During my time there I taught groups of Japanese Secondary School Teachers of English who were studying at Birmingham on Japanese Government scholarships. Since leaving the university in 2001 I have been designing and publishing electronic materials for the online study of listening and pronunciation. My first publication Streaming Speech: Listening and Pronunciation for Advanced Learners of English won a British Council Innovations in ELT award in 2004. My publications make a unique use of recordings of spontaneous speech: for listening, there is a focus on the fast messy sections; for pronunciation, tidy extracts of spontaneous speech are used as the pronunciation model. I have recently published the American/Canadian version of Streaming Speech, and two ‘Accents’ publications: Listening to Accents of the British Isles, and Listening to Accents of the USA. |
