PTLC2011 + ICPhS Special Session papers here
Although no separate PTLC conference took place in 2011, PTLC was linked instead with a Special Session at the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Hong Kong, August 17-21 2011, with the title "Phonetics Teaching and Learning: Recent Trends, New Directions". In addition, further PTLC2011 papers were separately accepted for online publication.
The ICPhS session was proposed and organised by:
- Michael Ashby (University College London)
- Helen Fraser (University of New England)
- Jose A. Mompean (University of Murcia, Spain)
The Special Session was described as aiming "to bring together phoneticians interested in phonetics pedagogy (contents, methods, tools and resources, assessment, etc.), including the application of new technological developments to the teaching and learning of phonetics (IT-based teaching, distance/online education, etc.) and the intersection of phonetic science with different teaching and learning contexts (phonetics theory teaching, language teaching, etc.)."
The Special Session papers are also accessible from the ICPhS online proceedings at http://www.icphs2011.hk/ICPHS_CongressProceedings.htm
ICPhS XVII included a further Pedagogy session as part of the regular programme, which was also chaired by Michael Ashby. It contained the following papers:
Hideki Abe, Effects of Form-focused Instruction on the Acquisition of Weak Forms by Japanese EFL Learners, 184-187
Christel de Bruijn, Miguel Baptista Nunes, Linhao Fang, Rigved Pathak & Jingchao Zhou, A System for Independent E-learning of Practical Phonetics, 368-371
Lamia Haddad Johnston & Vsevolod Kapatsinski, In the Beginning There Were the Weird: A Phonotactic Novelty Preference in Adult Word Learning, 978-981
Jacques Koreman, Øyvind Bech, Olaf Husby & Preben Wik, L1-L2map: A Tool for Multi-lingual Contrastive Analysis, 1142-1145
There were teaching and learning contributions elsewhere in the programme, too, notably:
Masaki Taniguchi, Jane Setter, Sean Fulop & Chris Golston, Assessing Intonation in the Spontaneous and Scripted Speech of Native and Non-native Speakers of English, 1966-1969
