Conference theme
Prosody is one of the aspects learners often struggle with when learning foreign languages (L2). The teaching of prosody is in fact still wildly overlooked, both in L1 and L2 – even though explicit prosodic knowledge will help to improve the learner’s language skills in both intelligibility and comprehension. TiPToP attempts to bridge the gap between prosodic research and research on teaching practices by bringing together researchers working on cross-linguistic aspects of prosody, on prosody in L2 acquisition, and the teaching of prosody. The workshop will provide a platform for exchange of ideas that lay the ground for cutting-edge research. Contributions from doctoral students and early career researchers are particularly welcome.
