Sound Awareness
Level 2 Core Class
Ear training for English language teachers
Pay just $185 per course when purchasing all four Core courses at one time:
Sound Awareness, Color Vowel® Yoga, Spelling Exploration, Rhythm & Chants
Develop your phonological awareness and gain strategies for building your students' awareness for greater confidence and comprehensibility.
Phonological (sound) awareness is a person's awareness of the sounds, rhythms, and intonations they use when speaking and when listening to the speech of others. In this practice-based workshop, Dr. Robin Barr will lead participants through a series of discovery activities and mini-lectures aimed at increasing teachers' sound awareness for the purpose of English language teaching.
This Level 2 course is open to Color Vowel® Level 1 Trained Teachers, and it is also recommended that participants have previously completed or be enrolled in the Level 2 Color Vowel® Yoga course.
Anyone who has previously completed a Sound Awareness class with ELTS may audit this course. Auditors may attend live or asynchronously; however, attending the live Zoom sessions will provide a more robust and useful experience. Auditors do not receive feedback on completed assignments.
Spaces are limited.
