TEACHING PRONUNCIATION : PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Title: TEACHING PRONUNCIATION : PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Authors: Munby, Ian

Abstract: This paper examines a pronunciation problem identified in a short recording of a Yemeni learner of English. Following an introductory statement of three language learning principles, the nature of the way the Yemeni speaker differs from a native speaker in her pronunciation of theta is analysed. Some examples of published learning materials focussing on pronunciation are reviewed to consider how far they would be likely to help the learner, and how far they match my own teaching principles. Finally, a sequence of learning activities designed to help the learner overcome the problem are described.

HEROIC MEN AND FLYING MACHINES

Title: HEROIC MEN AND FLYING MACHINES

Authors: O'Brien, Patrick

Abstract: Hollywood has shown an unending affection for the airplane for nearly one hundred years. From fantasy, to war, to salvation, to heroism, to romance, to adventure, airplanes have been and continue to be a powerful symbol in American film. Two intertwined themes based on flight are menace and hope, and the tension between them has successfully driven many flying films. This may explain why film has featured the airplane as the archetypal machine of the twentieth century, just as, according to Leo Marx in The Machine in the Garden, the locomotive served as the archetypal machine in American literature of the nineteenth century. Specifically, this dissertation will focus on how cargo planes, bomber aircraft, commercial airliners, and all those aboard have been portrayed in film from 1950-2004. The current essay is chapter 4 of the dissertation.
