Gemma Archer shares insights from her latest book: Teaching English Pronunciation for a Global World co-authored with Robin Walker. In this episode, Gemma talks about prioritising intelligibility over native-likeness in language learning, setting realistic learning goals, as well as shares techniques we can use to develop learners' pronunciation.Click here to watch this episode with closed captions.KEY TALKING POINTSPrioritising IntelligibilityGemma stresses the importance of focusing on students' intelligibility rather than aiming for native-like pronunciation, ensuring they can be understood in international contexts.Needs Analysis and Student GoalsTeachers can conduct a needs analysis by observing students' speech or collecting speech samples to identify specific pronunciation issues. Understanding students' goals and requirements is crucial.Challenging Prestige ModelsThe dominance of marketed native-speaker accents, particularly from Southeast England and general American English, in teaching materials, media, and marketing shapes students' perceptions. Teachers should address and challenge these notions, emphasising the value of diverse English accents.Techniques for Teaching PronunciationSimple, low-preparation techniques are recommended. Visual aids, gestures, and using students' language examples are effective. Emphasising sound differences and durations, such as using elastic bands to show vowel length, helps students grasp pronunciation better.ABOUTGemma is an EAP teacher and programme co-ordinator in the ELT unit at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. She is also a pronunciation specialist, teacher trainer, and is joint-coordinator of IATEFL Pronunciation special interest group (PronSIG) and former editor of the SIG's biannual journal Speak Out! (2017-2023). She is co-author of Teaching English Pronunciation for a Global World (OUP, 2024) and her research interests lie in the field of pronunciation pedagogy and accent, and the issues which can arise when students and teachers of English are confronted with diverse regional and global varieties of English.

The two subjects we're discussing on episode 66 of the road.cc Podcast are arguably chalk and cheese, but equally as interesting we hope you'll agree! In part 1, Jack and Ryan are joined by Jack Gebhard, Chief of Staff for the Conservative MP for Worcester, Robin Walker, about cycling's curious relationship with 'wokeness'. With 'woke' having morphed from a term to describe those who are alert to racial prejudice and discrimination to a catch-all associated with a whole host of issues such as race, politics, gender and the climate – and often used in a negative way by those that use it – where did the link between cyclists and woke come from, and is it even true in the slightest? In part 2, Ryan is speaking to Lidl Trek's Lucinda Brand and cyclocross specialist Eli Iserbyt at the recent Cyclocross World Cup even in Dublin, before sitting down with Jamie to discuss how ‘cross fits in to the modern pro cyclist's schedule. After UCI president David Lappartient's recent comments suggested that riders would have to take part in cyclocross World Cup events if they want to race at the event's World Championships, does this mean we're approaching the end of the multi-discipline era where the likes of Pidcock and Van Der Poel regularly appear at the biggest cyclocross races?

Brad Lynch has described his SadlyItsBradly YouTube channel as a speculation and prediction channel focusing on the next generation VR hardware, and it has been providing some of the most insightful and detailed VR hardware analysis in the XR industry. Lynch has been fusing together patent research, sources from the supply chain and wider XR industry, expert interviews, data mining techniques of import records and decompiled software updates to discover clues about future hardware, and in some cases leaks of CAD drawings for the Meta Quest Pro (1 2 3 4) and Quest 3. I had a chance to do an interview with him a year ago to understand more about his journey into doing this unique blend of hardware analysis, YouTube commentary, and independent reporting. In the past year he's proven himself to have cultivated some amazing insider sources and consistently break news about the latest hardware developments. This post will summarize some of his reporting over the past year (with a full timeline down below), and set a broader context for my October 2021 interview with him. Brad Lynch (aka SadlyItsBradley) got 17 out of 23 predictions on Meta Quest Pro confirmed to be correct. The fact that Lynch got 17 out of 23 of his Meta Quest Pro predictions explicitly confirmed to be correct during Meta Connect made me want to dig up this more speculative conversation that I had with him nearly a year ago now. I interviewed Lynch on October 22, 2021, which was 3 weeks after October 1, 2021 where he summarized 6 months of research and reporting on Valve's Deckard, the standalone VR headset Lynch claimed was in development at Valve that was then independently validated by Ars Technica. On September 28, 2021 reporter Sam Machkovech got confirmation from Valve that Lynch was on the right track with an anonymous quote saying, "Sources familiar with matters at Valve have confirmed to Ars that information in the wild is legitimate—at least in terms of products being made within Valve's headquarters, even if those products don't ultimately see retail launches." In other words, there's no guarantee the Valve Deckard standalone VR headset will ever see the light of day, but Lynch's reporting catalyzed a tacit confirmation that they are indeed prototyping next-generation, standalone VR hardware. Valve News Network's Tyler McVicker tipped me off to a Steam Dev Days 2014 talk by Robin Walker where he talked about how Valve will deliberately let certain information leak for fans like Lynch to piece together in a sort of alternative reality game, in order to build grassroots buzz but also get feedback from their fans. I wanted to hear a bit more about Lynch's journey into doing this type of speculative VR hardware analysis, and my October 2021 interview with him covers his journey into do these types of predictions. But because of the speculative and predictive nature of these work, then many of the things we talked about a year ago have not fully come to pass -- but yet at the same time are still totally relevant today. This includes the future of micro OLEDs and micro LEDS display technologies, new types of varifocal and pancake lenses, the next generation modular VR HMD designs, and the types of XR hardware trends that Lynch has been seeing across all of the major XR hardware producers. Lynch has been a big advocate for the importance of OLED microdisplays (μOLED) are predicts that they are going to figure prominently in the next phase of VR hardware as it decouples from smartphone-based screen components. After the recording of my interview, he went on to interview the eMagin CEO on OLED Microdisplays, scouted out the MeganeX HDR 5.2K microOLED at CES 2022, recapped the Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) VR/AR Display Forum, and attended the Society for Information Display (SID) Displayweek Conference with a full livestream breakdown. Valve still hasn't officially announced anything around the Deckard over the past y...

I bparlaimint Westminster tráthnóna, dúirt Boris Johnson gur thug muintir na Breataine sainordú ábhalmhór dó san olltoghchán in 2019 (an tír a reáchtáil) agus - ina fhianaise sin - gur chóir dó leanacht ar aghaidh ainneoin é a bheith sa chúngach. Six other ministers and some ministerial aides resigned from the British Government today because, they said, they no longer trusted the Prime Minister. D'éirigh seisear airí eile agus roinnt cúntóirí airí as Rialtas na Breataine inniu de bhrí, a dúirt siad, nach raibh muinín acu a thuilleadh as an bPríomh-Aire. The six resigning ministers are Will Quince, Robin Walker, John Glen, Victoria Atkins, Jo Churchill and Stuart Andrew. Is iad Will Quince, Robin Walker, John Glen, Victoria Atkins, Jo Churchill agus Stuart Andrew an seisear airí a d'éirigh as. The controversy concerns MP Chris Pincher who resigned as Deputy Chief Whip of the British Government last week in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct while intoxicated. Baineann an chonspóid leis an bhfeisire parlaiminte Chris Pincher a d'éirigh as a chúram mar Leas-Phríomh-Aoire Rialtas na Breataine an tseachtain seo caite i bhfianaise líomhaintí faoi mhí-iompar gnéis a bheith ar bun aige agus é ar meisce. Yesterday evening, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced that they were stepping down as they were unhappy with Boris Johnson's leadership in the wake of this latest controversy. Tráthnóna inné, d'fhógair an Seansailéir Rishi Sunak agus an Rúnaí Sláinte Sajid Javid go raibh siad ag éirí as a gcúraimí mar nach raibh siad sásta le ceannaireacht Boris Johnson i bhfianaise na conspóide is deireanaí seo. In Westminster today, Sajid Javid said he had resigned because he believed Boris Johnson would not change his behavior and could no longer accept the status quo. I Westminster inniu, dúirt Sajid Javid gur éirigh sé as oifig mar gur chreid sé nach n-athródh Boris Johnson a bhéasa agus nach bhféadfadh sé glacadh ní ba mhó le cúrsaí mar a bhí. Sajid Javid pointed out that for a few months it was between two May fires whether the principle of loyalty or integrity was paramount. Thug Sajid Javid le fios go raibh sé idir dhá thine Bhealtaine le cúpla mí cé acu prionsabal dílseacht nó ionracas ba mhó ba chás leis. It was integrity that he finally chose, he said. Is é ionracas a roghnaigh sé ar deireadh, ar sé. However, the leader of the British Labor Party, Keir Starmer, claimed that the ministers who had resigned in recent days did not have as much integrity. Mhaígh ceannaire Pháirtí Lucht Oibre na Breataine Keir Starmer, áfach, nach raibh oiread na fríde d'ionracas ag na hairí a d'éirigh as a gcúraimí le cúpla lá. It's not because of integrity that they gave up, says Keir Starmer, but they realized that their race was over. Ní de ghrá an ionracais a d'éirigh siad as, arsa Keir Starmer, ach is amhlaidh a thuig siad go raibh a rás rite.

With Robyn Walker Goal setting. You either love it or hate it. But either way, I think we can all agree that no matter what goal setting looks like for you right now in your business, you likely wouldn’t be where you are today without it, and similarly, you'd be headed nowhere without it as well. That is precisely the opposite of what I want for you my friend. There is so much power behind strategic planning for your business, and also for your life, and this episode applies to both. 2020 has been hard on us. It threw in a lot of curve balls and plot twists, and if we've learned anything from this dumpster fire of a year – it's that resiliency rules. And at the heart of resiliency is your ability to actually set goals you will stick with, define your path, be adaptable and make changes based on the needs and desires of your ideal customer at any given moment. Keeping your finger on the pulse of those you are serving, staying motivated and being a strategic goal setter will set you on the path to success in big ways – no matter what gets thrown at you. And today's guest Robin Walker of Women's Business Workshop (.com) is here to show you the way, to teach you how you can stay motivated and on top of your goals. She's here to tell you to NOT throw away your annual planner just yet, that 2020 has actually taught us a bunch and how we can use this knowledge to make 2021 a massive success. I loved chatting with Robin, and I think if you're feeling a little wary of what 2021 might throw your way, this is just the episode for you. I'm so excited to help you prep for the year ahead. 2021 here we come, let's dig in to this week's episode! In this episode, Robyn talks about: How real life experiences of being a mom and struggling with balance inspired her work to share productivity tips and motivation hacks. 5:36What to try when you lack motivation and stay motivated (Hint: it isn’t more coffee). 6:54Breaking down daunting activities into bite sized pieces and avoiding costly distractions. 8:17The top motivations suckers and how to get unstuck when you get caught up in them. 11:33How having multiple action steps and to-do’s to pick from can help you keep moving the needle a head… even when you don’t feel like it. 13:29 Time audits and why you need to do one and how it well help you plan out your week to be most productive. 15:09Goal setting in pandemic times (yes you can!). 23:11Strategies for quarterly planning. 25.32How to plan around unpredictability. 27:17Why now is the best time to revisit the needs of your ideal client and readjust as needed. 29:31 Try to start training yourself to focus on one thing. Pick one thing you will work on today that will take you less than an hour, write it on a post it and put it on a laptop and put away you big list.Robyn Walker I loved chatting with Robin. I think she does an amazing job taking the scary out of goal setting, and keeping it simple. Sit down and figure out where you want to be at the end of 2021, personally and professionally and back pedal from there to figure out the exact steps it will require. Then, figure out what you need to do that quarter, month, week, and day to get there. Give yourself nuggets, 15-20 minute tasks to accomplish. Tell yourself you just need to do the thing you dread for 5 minutes. Grab an accountability partner to hold your shoes or fancy bottle of champagne. Pay attention to the needs of your customer and be strategic with your goals. When you know where you are heading, why you are heading there, and what you need to do to get there – everything seems so much less daunting. When you have your vision, you have a purpose. When you have a purpose you will have intention, and that’s where the real motivation comes in. And this relates to every aspect of life. So, dont be afraid to dream. Dont be afraid to fail. Just start because it is from there that you are truly able to learn and grow. If you dont start, well, learning and growing arent an option for you. So, here is your permission to dream ridiculously big in 2021. And, as always thank you again so much for joining me for yet another episode of the workshop weekly podcast. I hoped you learned a whole lot and you are left feeling motivated to tackle whatever 2021 tosses your way. I dont know about you, but I feel like after living through 2020 we can handle just about anything life throws at us.
