DELC Research Seminar Series: Rebekka Puderbaugh In brief Date - 30 January 2024 Venue - Screening Room G.04, 50 George Square Speaker - Dr Rebekka Puderbaugh (School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, University of Edinburgh) Title - Glottal Yoga For Language Teachers About the event In this 'tongues on' session, language teaching practitioners will be invited to explore the physiological and productive capacity of their vocal tracts from abdominal wall to anatomical crown. Through a series of active exercises, attendees will be asked to interrogate and observe what’s happening when they speak, what is observed versus inferred, and how to talk about their observations. Attendees should come away with an improved interoceptive ability and tools to explore their own speech production, as well as that of other speakers. This event will be the first 'teaching best practice' workshop of the DELC Research Seminar Series (DRSS). As well as bringing colleagues from across the different sections in our department together and fostering a sense of departmental community, this event seeks to empower language teachers when teaching pronunciation and phonetics. Refreshments – tea, coffee and cakes (including a gluten free option) – will be available in the corridor outside the room from 11:45am. About the speaker Dr Rebekka Puderbaugh teaches Linguistics in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. Her research focuses on acoustic phonetics, phonetic description of understudied languages, glottalic speech, and phonation. Rebekka’s public engagement work includes several hugely successful Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas shows including ‘Don’t believe your ears!’ and ‘You Can't Say That!’ How to attend This event is free to attend and open to all.
