Phonetics Teaching and Learning Conference

A biennial international conference devoted to the teaching, learning and assessment of phonetics

PTLC2017 took place Wednesday 9 August–Friday 11 August 2017

Phonetics plays a significant role in medicine-allied professions, technology, forensics, performing arts, voice coaching and foreign language instruction. Different areas of phonetic knowledge or the development of practical skills may be prioritised depending on the curricular aims. Training future phoneticians also presents challenges in terms of resources, syllabuses, the linking of theory and practice, and maximising learning opportunities. PTLC provides a unique forum for research concerned with all aspects of the teaching, learning and assessment of phonetics. PTLC began in 1999, and has been hosted regularly at UCL since then.

PTLC accepts papers in the following areas:

· role and goals of phonetics in different curricula

· phonetic training for academic research and fieldwork

· interactivity and blended learning in phonetics

· use of technology and equipment for learning phonetics

· phonetics in distance learning, Continued Professional Development and degree level courses
