Enhancing English Pronunciation for Japanese Learners (TOP-IG)
12/20/2024

Description

Join us for an engaging webinar designed for English language teachers working with Japanese speakers. In this session, Dr. Katsuya Yokomoto, of Sophia University, Tokyo, will explore key phonological challenges faced by Japanese learners, including specific phonemes and suprasegmental elements that impact intelligibility. We will discuss common pronunciation errors, such as vowel and consonant distinctions and intonation patterns, providing practical strategies for teachers to address these issues effectively. Participants will leave with actionable techniques and resources to enhance their students' pronunciation skills, fostering clearer communication in English. No prior knowledge of Japanese is required—just a passion for helping your students succeed!

Katsuya Yokomoto is an associate professor at Sophia University in Tokyo. He completed the TESOL master’s program of California State University, Sacramento, and received his doctor’s degree in Education after completing the doctoral program in TESOL/Applied Linguistics at the University of Bristol. He has extensive experience in teaching English to speakers of other languages in the U.S., China, and Japan. He has also taught various courses in teacher training programs, such as pronunciation teaching, methods in teaching English, theories in second language acquisition.

Corpus-Informed Priorities for Teaching Word Stress (TOP-IG)
1/24/2025

Corpus-Informed Priorities for Teaching Word Stress

How can a corpus help with teaching word stress? During revisions for a forthcoming English pronunciation textbook, the Dr. DJ Kaiser turned to the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) to validate the word stress system he was previously teaching. An analysis of nearly 8000 words resulted in revisions to word stress rules for instructional purposes. This session will explore the data from this analysis.  Discussion will include how corpus data can inform instructional priorities for teaching pronunciation and how these data can support materials development (e.g., writing practice exercises, creating lists of exceptions).

DJ KaiserPresenter

DJ Kaiser is a Professor and the Director of TESOL at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri.  With more than twenty-five years in the field of English Language Teaching, he has delivered presentations, workshops, and seminars on language instruction, teaching pronunciation, language planning and policy, technology for education, and program development throughout the United States and in seventeen different countries across five continents.  His textbook Practical Pronunciation: Pronunciation Strategies in Practice will be published by University of Michigan Press later in 2025.
