The Schwa: Teacher's Guide

By Stuart Bonsell

+++ This is the Teacher's Guide +++ 'The Schwa' is designed to provide instant, engaging and meaningful conversation tasks where study time is infrequent or irregular, whilst learning how to use the schwa - the most important sound in English. 'The Schwa' was written for - and is used in - the author's daily conversation classes for adults: to very quickly introduce meaningful conversation to first time students or students who cannot commit to regular learning (particularly useful when teaching online) to maximise student speaking time to show the many different forms of the schwa in order to develop students listening skills to build on knowledge of English as a stress-timed language, particularly through weak and strong word forms to introduce students to English that is spoken at normal conversational speed, then develop that understanding using the five main forms of word linking. But most importantly to increase students' confidence in entering conversation, managing conversation, and exiting conversation without wanting to abandon all hope.
