Grade calculation

    oral class work and class participation (20%)
    scores on your dictations and quizzes (15%)
    score on final exam (written and listening) (30%)
    attendance, punctuality, attitude, and progress made; DON'T BE LATE! (15%)

    Note that the percentage breakdown is only APPROXIMATE,
    and is SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT in each individual case.

    Also note that more than 3 absences or 5 tardinesses may result in your NOT PASSING THE COURSE.

         6.   Class notes FOR (not: of) Week One.

          as shown in the examples that will be given on the board.
          Update: The average score for this quiz was around 70% – not bad at all for your first try!

     6.  How are your transcriptions going? Any problems or questions you'd like to discuss?
          What are some of the things you've learned from your transcription work so far?

          Starting from our next class, in addition to daily transcriptions,

     3.  Compound Noun Stress quiz #2.
          The average score for the previous compound noun stress quiz was around 70% –
          not bad at all for your first try!
          In today's quiz some items will include names of materials or ingredients –
          in additional to regular compounds that follow the basic cns (noun + noun) rule,
          and also phrases (adjective + noun), which have normal phrasal stress, i.e. stress all the words.
          make sure you remember and apply the correct rule for each compound type and for phrases!

          as shown in the examples that will be given on the board.

          recite them accurately, with good pronunciation and intonation, just like the recording,
          without much conscious thought.

          Note that you won't receive a grade for this course if any work is missing!
          You need to find your motivation, to clearly and concretely define your goal,
          and make sure it is sustainable, so you actually look forward to working on it every day!
          Extrinsic motivation cannot compare with your own intrinsic motivation to get things done.
          Even more important than the assignment itself is training yourself to maintain a key daily habit!
          Cultivate: laser focus, getting in the zone, the flow state!

          The author, Lewis Howes, also hosts a podcast with the same title, The Class of Greatness, and a YouTube channel.
          Some quotes:

         “Visualize and map out how you want your dreams to look on a day-to-day basis.”

         “The hardships we face in life can be seen as terrible tragedies or opportunities..
          the impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

          “Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it.”

          "You can go as slow as you need to go, but you cannot stop. You can never give up or drop out of giving your best in your life.”

          “Those who learn how to use adversity to their advantage...possess the power to turn that adversity into greatness.”

          “In reality, failure is simply feedback. It’s not that you are bad or not good enough or incapable.
          Failure (or feedback) gives you the opportunity to look at what’s not working and figure out how to make it work.”

          “No one has ever achieved anything truly great without going through extreme adversity.”

     1.  Discuss, practice and hand in: CET 9 & CET 10 (issues 77 & 78): 鼻音/m /、/n/ 與 /ŋ/ —— No problen?（上、下） 
          in No. 77, May/June 2013, p. 12-14 and No. 78, July/August 2013, p. 12-14; and
          English Island 35 (10): 你有沒有不小心講出「限制級英 文」?  2016-10;
          also watch the video that accompanies this article;
          available in the Google Drive folder.

          For our next class on November 14, read and take notes on these two articles:
          CET 11 台式英語罪魁禍首：/æ /、/ɛ/ 和 /eɪ/ in No. 79, September/October 2013, p. 12-14; and
          English Island 49 (24) 台灣味學習法：用注音練英文母音 2017-12;

          as well as the video on linking with nasals; (1-10 連音：鼻音篇)
          available in the Google Drive folder.

     2.  Regarding last week's discussion on "a" vs. "the" and their Chinese equivalents,
          here is an excerpt from English Island article 70 (44):
          文法消失了！那些「看不見」的翻譯規則 2019-9; also available in the Google Drive folder:

          分不清楚英文中「冠詞」與「可數/不可數」的學習者不少，
          但其實英文很多時候在觀念上跟中文是一樣的，只是一般在說母語時，
          我們不會想這麼多。多想一想中文的名詞可不可數，例如「空氣」、「水」，
          中文和英文一樣是不可數名詞（「一個」？空氣、「一個」？水），
          所以在學英文的可數與不可數時，隨時可以用母語當參考。

          最後我們來談一下英文的 “that” 和 “the” 的中文翻譯。 英文的“that” 就是中文的「那個」，沒問題。
          不管中英文，都指特定的對象，而且都是強調用法。
          那麼，英文 的“the”呢？跟“that”/「那個」一樣都指特定的對象，
          只不過 “the” 完全沒有強調功能，一般也沒有重音，而且 “the” 比 “that” 常用得多。
          “the” 在中文的相對用法是什麼呢？就是“bare noun”，什麼都不加（ø）的「光禿禿」名詞。

          重點
          (1) 第一次 + a/an，第二次 + the
          英文中，第一次出現的名詞，要加上不定冠詞 (indefinite article) “a” 或 “an”，
          中文則加上「一個」(「一」+量詞)。出 現過一次以後，
          英文就會改用定 冠詞 “the”，中文則在名詞前什麼都不加。

          (2) 強調的程度： 英文的 the 和 that  ≈ 中文的 ø 和「那個」。

     3.  Make sure to keep up/catch up with your daily transcriptions! And remember to keep a running list
          of your transcription errors in your Google Drive "Transcriptions" folder.
          Any problems or questions you'd like to discuss?
          What are some of the things you've learned from your transcription work so far?
          Please ask any questions you have in class, so everybody can benefit –
          your classmates may well be having similar issues!

Week Eleven: November 14         

Email sent to the class on 11/13/22:

Dear Students,
     A close friend had a family emergency and needed to fly back to the US today,
with less than a day to prepare – and asked if I could substitute-teach two of her
freshman classes in her two-week absence.
     It seems like this is a good opportunity for you all to do a quick mental review
of what you've learned so far in ELP class, and in your other DFLL classes.
What would you prioritize, if you needed to teach university-level English learners
for two hours each on two days, a week apart? What has been most helpful to you,
that you would like to share with other learners?
     Please give this some thought, and try to come up with three topics
that you would teach – and we'll discuss it briefly in class on Monday 11/14!
     See you then,
     Karen Chung

Monday PS: We'll also discuss how you're doing in finding your own answers
                     when you encounter something you don't understand. (cf. Kevin's questions)

     1.  Discuss, practice and hand in: CET 11 台式英語罪魁禍首：/æ /、/ɛ/ 和 /eɪ/ in No. 79, September/October 2013, p. 12-14; and
          English Island 49 (24) 台灣味學習法：用注音練英文母音 2017-12.
 
          We'll go over the vowel sounds and symbols in class;
          we'll pay special attention to the diphthongs (雙母音; monophthongs is 單母音).

          We'll also discuss the video on vowels that accompanies this article (1-4 用注音連英文母音),
          as well as the video on linking with nasals; (1-10 連音：鼻音篇);
      
          NEW: The English Island article 58 (32) on which this is based:
          連音鼻音篇：如何避免“N”G英文？  2018-9  is now also available,
          along with the other above materials, in the Google Drive folder.

          For our next class on November 14, read and take notes on these two articles:
          CET 12 (issue 80) 英語發音百樂篇（一）: Pronunciation Potluck (1)   
          in No. 80, November/December 2013, p. 12-14; and
          this page from Phonetics I: 15. More on phonemes and allophones; include in your notes! also:
          English Island 68 (42): I feel so boring...不用那麼謙虛吧！ 2017-12;
          in addition watch the English Island video 2-4:  I'm so boring 是我很無趣，還是我很無聊？  
          all available in the Google Drive folder.

          Start paying extra close attention to the correct understanding and usage of
          "boring" vs. "bored"-type adjectives – DON'T confuse the two!
          After a few weeks of being very conscious of the two adjective types,
          correct use should start to come naturally and instinctively.

     2.  Continue work on the new transcription exercise:
          NPR: The Indicator: The Great Potato Giveaway   
          with Stacey Vanek Smith     The potato pile

     4.  a. Dictation #5: a. Nasal finals: /m/, /n/, and /ŋ/, e.g.: ram /ræm/ vs. ran /ræn/ vs. rang /ræ̝ŋ/.
                                        All items have one or the other version of the same vowel, either /æ/ or /æ̝/.
                                        This time we'll mark "velar raising" with an upside down capital "T", e.g. /ræ̝ŋ/.
                                        Always add the "velar raising" mark [ ̝] onto the short front vowels: /ɪ/, /ɛ/ and /æ/,
                                        when they are followed by either /g/ or  /ŋ/, so they will appear as: /ɪ̝/, /ɛ̝/ and /æ̝/.
                                        This non-spacing mark is available under "Diacritics" on the i2Spiːk interface;
                                        the length mark [ː] is under "Suprasegmentals".

          all available in the Google Drive folder.

     3.  We have now finished the last assigned transcription exercise of the semester!
          If you have found this daily practice useful, you can continue doing it on your own!
          You can work on exercises from previous years of ELP: 2021  2020  2019; you can also find your own files to transcribe!
          Many podcasts, such as The Tim Ferriss Show,
          have transcripts available that you can use to check your work!

     4.  Daily Echo practice: If you have not yet given your feedback on this question,
          make sure to include it in this or next week's notes – this is required and forms part of your grade:

          What would it take to get you to do it every day?  Be brutally honest!

          at National Sun Yat-Sen University 中山大學 in Gaoxiong)

          a. Review and learn all the vowel sounds and their IPA symbols well!
          b. Dictation #8: Vowel review; also: /ɑ/ vs. /ʌ/.                                     
          c. Compound noun stress quiz #5: modifiers ending in -ing: gerunds (nouns) vs. participles (adjectives)
          (postponed to next Monday, December 12)
             
          -ing words:

          participles 分詞 function as adjectives: "a B that is Aing" or 「正在 A 的 B」,
          e.g. "aching heart" is "a heart that is aching"). Because it is adjective + *noun,
          both words are stressed: aching *heart.

          gerunds 動名詞 function as nouns: "a B for A" or 「用來做 A 的 B」,
          e.g. "hiking boots" are "boots for hiking"). Because it is *noun + noun,
          the modified word is not stressed: *HIking boots.

          More examples:
          participle 現在分詞 ending with -ing + noun, forming a noun phrase,
          e.g.: a. WORKing pro*FEssionals; b. CHAllenging *TASK; c. LEAding *LAW firm
          (noun phrase containing a compound noun);

          gerund 動名詞 ending with -ing + noun forming a compound noun,
          e.g. d. *PLAYing cards; e. *STRETCHing exercises; *CAMPing gear

           If you think you have a special situation, please come talk to me personally.

          For our last class/final exam day, December 19,
          read and take notes on the last CET article on pronunciation:
          CET 18 (issue 86) 次重音：次要的重音還是很重要！   
          in No. 86, November/December 2014, p. 12-14.; also:

          all available in the Google Drive folder.

     4.  Pronunciation, stress, IPA
          a. Review of entire IPA; pay special attention to:
              /ʃ/ /ʒ/ /ʧ/ /ʤ/; plus /ɝ/ and /ɚ/

          b. Dictation #9: /ʃ/ /ʒ/ /ʧ/ /ʤ/; plus /ɝ/ and /ɚ/
 
              Examples: she       /ʃi/             bush         /bʊʃ/  
                                 beige    /beɪʒ/        measure   /ˈmɛʒɚ/
                                 chat      /ʧæt/         match      /mæʧ/
                                 job        /ʤɑb/        badge      /bæʤ/     

                                 bird       /bɝd/         word        /wɝd/
                                 baker    /ˈbeɪkɚ/      teacher    /ˈtiʧɚ/        persist  /pɚˈsɪst/

          Note that for words with more than one syllable, you need to mark the primary stress with a stress mark ˈ,
          e.g. measure /ˈmɛʒɚ/, insist /ɪnˈsɪst/.
          Note that unlike in the KK system, ˈ is is a straight line in the upper left hand corner of the symbol.

          c. Compound noun stress quiz #5: modifiers ending in -ing: gerunds (nouns) vs. participles (adjectives)
          (postponed from last Monday, December 5)
          
          Remember the SMOking *ROOM vs. *SMOking room" examples?

          -ing words:

          participles 現在分詞 function as adjectives: "a B that is Aing" or 「正在 A 的 B」,
          e.g. "aching heart" is "a heart that is aching"). Because it is ADJECTIVE + *NOUN,
          both words are stressed: Aching *HEART.

          gerunds 動名詞 function as nouns: "a B for A" or 「用來做 A 的 B」,
          e.g. "hiking boots" are "boots for hiking"). Because it is *NOUN + noun,
          the modified word is not stressed: *HIking boots.

          More examples:
          participle 現在分詞 ending with -ing + noun, forming a noun phrase,
          e.g.: a. WORKing pro*FEssionals; b. CHAllenging *TASK; c. LEAding *LAW firm
          (noun phrase containing a compound noun);

          gerund 動名詞 ending with -ing + noun forming a compound noun,
          e.g. d. *PLAYing cards; e. *STRETCHing exercises; *CAMPing gear

     5.  Compound noun stress review, plus -ing phrases vs. compounds
