Re: phonetics teaching methods

I've never used colours, though I suppose synesthetic associations between colour stimuli and sound quality could be exploited in teaching. Music is great for stress and rhythm practice. What I've always done with my student in practical phonetics classes is all sorts of breathing and relaxation exercises, sometimes inspired by hatha yoga. Students should learn to control their breath, phonation and articulation.

Hi, I just fall into this group as I'm searching for new methods of teaching phonetics. I heard that there are ways as using colors and musics to teach it. Does any one of you know some references on these methods? Any other methods are welcome. Thanks. Regards. Dexian
