If this program receives continued funding and runs again in the future, what would you like to say about the program to future applicants or participants? Perhaps you want to leave an honest review of your favorite/least favorite parts of the program, how you feel you have benefitted, or perhaps you have some words of advice for them. Say whatever you'd like that you feel will be most useful, informative, or inspiring to future scholars in the program.

Post a video response to EACH of the following questions (so two videos):

1. What did you learn that was most interesting in the research swap from class on May 7th? Why did you find this interesting?

2. How well/how easily do you think you communicated your work and interacted with your group members? Did you use any of the strategies that you have learned in this class? Did you encounter any miscommunications or difficulties that you had to deal with? How did you deal with them?

You are each going to create your own Padlet that can be shared with middle school age students and teachers so that they can learn about West Africa and some of the innovative and important research and work that you are all involved in. Once you create your Padlet (a brand new Padlet, not just a new post on this Padlet), you will post a link to it here so that I and your classmates can visit and see your progress over the next few weeks. I have posted an example, but my example is not complete. It will just give you an idea of some of the things you can do. Be creative, but make sure to include more recorded video information than written information and don't forget to consider your audience and what you need to explain to them!

Also have fun and explore all the options that Padlet allows.

If you need help creating your own Padlet and linking to it, please see my Tutorial on Creating Your Own Padlet. It is also shown here on this Padlet page.

1. Write 2-3 sentences to explain what you do in your field of work to a non-scientific audience.

2. Check where the correct word stress is and mark the stressed syllable by underlining or using bold for all multisyllabic words (words with more than one syllable).

3. Highlight the key words you want to emphasize with phrasal stress in order to help your listener understand clearly.

4. Practice several times speaking slowly and clearly and using word stress correctly and phrasal stress to emphasize the key words used to convey your work.

Then record yourself.

1. Download the chart

2. Add 10 word that you frequently use to discuss your field of work/study.

3. Try to find all the related grammatical forms of that word and add them to the chart.

4. Finally, for each word on the list, indicate the stressed syllable. If you are not sure, look them up in a dictionary.

5. Visit YouGlish.com and listen to how some of these words are pronounced. Practice pronouncing them.

Instructions: Click on each link below to watch (and participate in) each part of the video where I explain the important aspects of pronunciation that impact comprehensibility. Each video runs about 12-14 minutes, so be sure to have enough time and take some breaks between each part. 45 minutes is too long to sit and watch videos straight through without stopping!

Part 1: Overview of Factors that Impact Comprehensibility

Part 2: Overview of Factors that Impact Comprehensibility

Part 3: Overview of Factors that Impact Comprehensibility

Now that you understand the information explained in the video, post a VIDEO to this Padlet answering the following questions:

1. What did you learn from the videos that you found most interesting, surprising, or useful?

2. Based on what you learned, what do you think your own strengths are in terms of factors of pronunciation that impact comprehensibility? What areas do you think you can work on to enhance your comprehensibility?

Post a VIDEO response to the following questions:

Which of the strategies on the Active Listening chart do you use most frequently when speaking English? In which situation? Why? Which do you use least frequently? In which situation? Why? Which would you like to try to use more?

Post a VIDEO in which you use some of the circumlocution strategies we learned in class to describe an object you choose. Do not tell us the object. Instead, use circumlocution strategies to communicate that object and let your classmates try to guess what object you are trying to communicate.

Then listen to some of your classmates' videos and try to guess what objects they are communicating. Post a VIDEO response (not a text response!) with your guess. Don't listen to your classmates' guesses first or you will ruin your chance to guess.

Post a short video introducing yourself.  Include the following:

Your full name and pronouns

What you'd like to be called

Where you are from

Your field of work/research

Something interesting about you or something you'd like the class to know about you

A question you'd like your classmates to answer

Then, get to know your classmates by watching their videos and posting VIDEO responses to their questions. Listen to ALL of your classmates' videos and post a VIDEO response to AT LEAST FOUR CLASSMATES. Be sure to answer the questions your classmates ask in their post.

*NOTE - Don't listen to your classmates' guesses.  That way, everyone can listen to everyone's description and make their own guess!  That's why I had you RECORD your guess and not write it - so your classmates wouldn't see your guess and it wouldn't ruin it for them!

Additional Resource: Common Word Stress Patterns in English According to Suffix (Word Ending)

# data[].attributes.body
In class, someone asked if there is a way to know which syllable is stressed in English. One general guideline is that in words of only TWO syllables, the first syllable is often stressed in nouns and the second is typically stressed in verbs.

In longer words, suffixes (word endings) can also give us a fairly predictable clue to word stress. In class, I promised to post a chart with some of the patterns in English that are influenced by common suffixes (word endings), so here it is!

I am a Full Professor in Entomology and Animal Biology. I am a Senior Lecturer Researcher at the Faculty of Science of the University of Lomé in Togo. I am actually the Head of Zoology Department. I teach biology, ethology, ecology and plant-animal interactions. In term of research, I look for alternative methods of sustainable management of insect pests of crops and food stocks through the use of biopesticides and natural enemies of insect pests.

I'm Bolou Bi Antoine. I'm a Researcher at Felix Houphouet-Boigny University of Côte d'Ivoire. I work mainly on Phytopathology, the science which studies pests and diseases of plants. I study fungi, bacteria and viruses which provoke plant diseases. I often work in Entomology which study the insects' science. Insects are vectors of diseases, this is the reason we study the behavior of insects in the transmission of diseases. I use bio pesticides to control these diseases and pests.
