"VOICE: Your Excellence In Teaching"

. . . an 8-hour voice training, pronunciation & intonation practice workshop for EFL teachers (and other professionals)

with

Irene Theotokatou

DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2014

10:00 - 14:30 & 16:00 - 20:30,

TITANIA Hotel, 52 Panepistimiou Street, ATHENS

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

The approach to voice for an EFL teacher is two-fold. It encompasses both how you teach and what you teach. Firstly, as with any teacher, your voice is your instrument. It can be a lively and effective tool for communication, a means to presence and command in the classroom, a tower of strength that won’t let you down. Secondly, it is through your voice that you must demonstrate the language skills you desire to pass on to your students – skills such as pronunciation and intonation.

This 8-hour workshop aims at both these areas. In the first part, through the use of physical and vocal exercises, learn how to improve the vibrancy of your voice; learn how the breath can support the voice and make it a powerful ally in the classroom; learn how to preserve and protect your voice so that it doesn’t let you down and how to nurture it, if it does. The second part is an intensive one on enhancing your own English language skills. The work focuses on improving pronunciation and fine-tuning intonation -- getting the melody right. As an added bonus, you’ll be able to take some of the exercises with you and apply them in your own classroom.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JUNE 30, 2014
