SUMMARY:Pronunciation: Promoting Intelligibility and Comprehensibility to Support ELLs
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Jeanine Ntihirageza\, Professor and Coordinator of the TESOL Program\, Northeastern Illinois University \nSponsored by VIPKid \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \n“Ordinary people who know nothing of phonetics or elocution have difficulties in understanding slow speech composed of perfect sounds\, while they have no difficulty in comprehending an imperfect gabble if only the accent and rhythm are natural.” \nThe Mechanism of Speech\, by Alexander Graham Bell \nAccents are natural. And a foreign accent can sound interesting\, but not if communication is unintelligible. Any pronunciation practice should aim at helping the learner produce intelligible speech and be successful at perceiving it. The goal of this edWebinar is to provide participants with techniques\, strategies\, and practical ideas about how to improve their English language learners’ (ELL) pronunciation using pedagogical tools that enhance natural English stress\, intonation and rhythm in connected speech. \nTeachers will learn how to raise learners’ awareness of their pronunciation and support them as they work to increase naturalness in spoken English. Attendees will take home tools that will promote their learners’ intelligibility (the extent to which a speaker’s message is actually understood by a listener) and comprehensibility (the accuracy with which a speaker’s intended meaning is perceived). \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers and librarians at all levels.  \nAbout the Presenter \nJeanine Ntihirageza has a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Chicago. Her MA is also in linguistics from Southern Illinois University\, Carbondale. She is Professor and Coordinator of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). She also coordinates the School for the Advancement of the English Language Learning (SAELL) and is Director of the Multilingual Learning Center. From 2012 to 2018\, she served as Department Chair of Anthropology\, English Language Program\, Philosophy and TESOL. For more than 15 years\, she has developed and supervised a variety of language and culture programs for teachers. In 2019\, She was awarded\, in collaboration with members of the Multilingual Learning Center leadership team and Zahra Institute\, a National Endowment for Humanities grant to start a Kurdish Language and Culture Studies program at Northeastern Illinois University. \n  \nJoin the Helping ELL/ESL Students Succeed community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n VIPKid is a global education technology company that connects children with the world’s best teachers for real-time online English immersion learning.

SUMMARY:Supporting Young Children’s Emerging Math Skills with Developmentally Appropriate Music Activities
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ellen Acuna\, In-School Services Representative and Teaching Specialist \nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nSongs\, rhythmic chants\, and small and large movement activities are enjoyable ways to holistically support young children’s emerging math skills. In this edWebinar\,  learn about developmentally appropriate music and movement activities that naturally support children’s exploration of math concepts\, including pattern\, sequence\, representation\, proportion\, and opposites. Viewers will be introduced to new songs and chants they can use in their work with children\, hear about research on the topic\, and see ways to lead music experiences with young children. \nRegardless of musical ability\, participants will come away with music activity ideas they can use right away in their work with children to support them in developing a foundation for future mathematical learning. This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to educators working with toddlers\, preschoolers\, and kindergartners. \nAbout the Presenter \nEllen Acuna has more than 19 years of experience as an early childhood music and movement specialist working with children birth through age five and their parents and caregivers. She has enjoyed bringing music education to a variety of different settings\, including a School for the Deaf where she worked with deaf and hard of hearing children\, a center for teenage moms with their babies\, working with the elderly and young children in intergenerational classes\, and a variety of other outreach programs. Ellen has a B.A. from West Chester State College (now West Chester University)\, where she studied speech communications. In addition to being a Music Together In-School teaching mentor for other music and movement specialists\, she presents professional development workshops for music specialists and classroom teachers\, and has presented at national conferences. \n  \nJoin the Music in Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n At Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.
