Don't miss "KINETIK meets Lessac." Once in a while you must go back to your "roots," to clarify the way ahead. In preparing for that hapticanar I learned a great deal about the great Lessac's model and vision. It went really well, I think. I'm going to prepare that for conference presentation (or maybe even a TED talk!!!) Hapticanar #15 features a chat with Haptician, Nate Kielstra. He created the Haptic Pronunciation course that I am teaching now on Zoom. (He and I have a chapter in Murphy's book, Murphy, J. (Ed.)Teaching the Pronunciation of English: Focus on whole courses, Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press.) You'll appreciate his "hands on" perspective!

Heartfelt thanks to those of you who continue to support ActonHaptic with Locals. Many things are coming together this summer as we get ready for the launch of new v6.0 courses in September. We are also considering hosting the the KINETIK Method Instructor Certification Course here. There would be both regular posts, as before, and subscriber-only posts and video streaming. Beginning August 1st, as before, general social media posts will be here as well. Here is today's blogpost: https://hipoeces.blogspot.com/2022/07/upcoming-kinetik-courses-beginning.html
Have just finished extensive updating the website (www.actonhaptic.com) Check that out! Will also be updating LinkedIn based on new blogposts on upcoming conference presentations. BCTEAL conference is April 29th and 30th. Doing a couple of presentations there, "How to speak with confident vowels and beyond." with Eileen McWilliams, and "Spontaneous classroom engagement facilitating development of pragmatic competence."
Based on one of my favorite techniques!
