In the three preceding Hapticanars we had heard from Nowar Habash, Nate Kielstra and Joan Hartwig on the courses they have taught or are teaching now. (Check out the recordings of those on the website.) This Wednesday we highlight the work of Shine Hong, one of those who were instrumental in developing and trying out haptic pronunciation teaching. She has a great story, both personal and professional. Don't miss it!
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!
