Cisse

Communication skills

We investigated areas of misunderstanding and tried to convince students to spend less energy focused on individual sounds and look at spoken English in more of a big picture way where the stress and meaning changes the pronunciation of individual sounds.  As well we looked at some Rhythm and other characteristics of speech.  Cisse translated much of what he said into Korean and tried to capture their interest but it was a little too difficult or at least not easily put into practice.

Students went and got their uniforms after this class and were excited to get something.  The class is starting to gel with a few groups forming.
