2015年6月10日下午美国教师、演员Rich Hawkins莅临我院,在二楼东会议室做了题为Pronunciation through Acting的讲座。Jenna Thompson 主持了该讲座,我院和公外教师,以及研究生参与了此讲座。
曾经是一名演员的Rich Hawkins从一个演员的角度声情并茂地重点介绍了发音教学的方法。Rich Hawkins首先以一个游戏开始,很好的调动了全场氛围。然后又讲述了发音教学的一些规则,比如在教学过程中应该让学生尽可能多的说目的语,还有听力和重复在教学中也是必要的。最后Rich Hawkins点出在教学过程中应重点讲述音节,韵律,重音以及语调等,并对每一项给出了例子,与全体人员一起练习。整场报告热情洋溢,在欢笑声中结束。
