A Peruvian Student's First Day of Basic Speech, 2/9/06
from JRGreen, Int'l Speech Communication Hosted by Ricardo Green
Thank you, Geoff, for your kind comments to the student from Syria. The next student recorded is from Peru. There may be some confusion understanding her when she uses the word "prosperous," and says "prosper" instead, as when you hear her say, "I want to be a prosper person...." This leads to something, Geoff said, which I think makes all the sense in the world. Students will learn when they "make a transcript of part of their own speech, to identify mistakes in it." Geoff's discussion of getting "the students to analyse a bit of their own recorded speech" is found on his blog: http://geofftaylor.edublogs.org/ From his blog, I quote the following: "1. Language mistakes: The issue of linguistic mistakes in unscripted student-produced podcasts nags at me. I’ve never been much of a believer in the effectiveness of correction of oral mistakes. But in a podcast, there they are, and as I work on the audio content, I start to notice them a lot, and wonder about what I should be doing about them. So far, I haven’t really focussed on that aspect. Perhaps one solution would be to get the students to analyse a bit of their own recorded speech subsequently, e.g. by asking them to make a transcript of part of their own speech, and to identify mistakes in it."
