Transcribing Naturally:

From Sounds to Connected Speech

For: Perfect for teachers starting or currently doing CELTA or Delta who want to master transcription. Also ideal for any teacher who wants to confidently analyse phonology, teach connected speech, and help learners sound more natural.

 In this practical 80-minute workshop, you will:

Learn all English phonemes           (individual sounds) 

Master key features of connected speech:  liaison, elision, assimilation, merging,  unstress, contractions 

Practise transcribing naturally — not  word-for-word, but in natural chunks and sentences 

Discover how to use (not depend on) online transcription tools    

Bonus: downloadable PDF workshop notes

By the end, you’ll feel empowered and confident in transcription. You’ll be able to analyse language naturally, support your learners in becoming better listeners, and guide them towards sounding more native-like. You tutors will be praising you rather than asking you to analyse phonology more naturally.
