Teaching Discourse Intonation: The Why and How
Grace Wang, Yonsei University

Intonation has always been a notoriously difficult
area for teachers and learners to address alike.
However, the little known fact of the matter is that
it doesn't necessarily have to be so. In this
workshop, the participants will be taken through a fun
series of intonation exercises that they may use with
their own students. The exercises will show that
systematic teaching of intonation is not only
possible, but also is of importance both to the verbal
meaning-making process and to learner
confidence-building for speaking.

Grace Wang is a professor of Communicative English at
Yonsei University and the secretary of KOTESOL Seoul
Chapter. She has given task-based writing workshops at
the United Nations, and designed task-based curricula
for university courses. She holds an M.A. in TEFL/TESL
from the University of Birmingham, U. K., and her
areas of research interest include discourse
intonation and language curriculum development. She
may be reached by e-mail at: [email protected].


Linux
Josef Kerwin

This presentation is about GNU/Linux, a.k.a. Linux, which is an alternative operating system to Microsoft Windows. This operating system is available for no cost and legally you are able to download it and use it. It is an overview of GNU/Linux, which includes plenty of time for any questions that you have.

Josef Kerwin has worked in Korea for many years and in different parts of the country. He has a master's in TESOL from the School For International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont. He has had an interest in computers, and has pursued this to include other operating systems. This has led to his using him to use GNU/Linux as his operating system. Specifically, he uses Ubuntu Linux.
