WORKSHOP #3 - Oral, writing and pronunciation development

On April 18th we met Mrs. Leila Janice Maxwell, who is a teacher at UNIUBE. She talked to us about relevant topics, such as pronunciation and oral practice. During the whole afternoon, Mrs. Maxwell guided us through a myriad of interesting exercises which where focused on pronunciation and oral practice. We had loads of fun with some games she proposed in class. We talked about phonetic symbols and how important it is to understand them. In another important part of the workshop, Mrs. Maxwell showed us how different is the oral speech from the written one. This sentence may sound obvious, but there is a lot more about oral practice that we know of. As we could see when she asked us to sing along one of those "song twisters"(songs tha will twist your tongue, I bet!).
By the way, would you like to try these tongue twisters?
