[YEP-DC] Color Vowel Chart Workshop

Do you have students who struggle to remember all the vowel sounds in the English language?  Do they find long vs. short vowels confusing?  Do they often forget that vowel teams often make more than one sound? 

E.L. Haynes is proud to offer a two-session workshop that will provide you with a new tool for attacking the pronunciation of vowels, called the Color Vowel Chart.  This tool is being used with students of all grade levels in schools across the country, like in Wilmington, Delaware, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Pueblo, Colorado.  It is also being used locally with adults in English training programs in Rockville, MD and even by the U.S. State Department! Check out some testimonials from past workshop participants:

"One of my favorite things about the chart is the way that it visually brings attention to the differences among the English vowels--differences that students may not be able to hear. I also like how the color vowel chart has allowed me to incorporate pronunciation into other aspects of my classes. While students are working together on any task, if I hear a major pronunciation problem I can say, "change your vowel from 'blue' to 'mustard' for that word," and the student is usually able to improve her pronunciation." - Jody Gabler, ESL Teacher

"This training was phenomenal. I learned an innovative but easy way to teach students about the many different sounds that vowels can make. The Color Vowel Chart is easy to learn and uses the different modalities of learning so [it] reaches every type of learner." - ESL Teacher, Pueblo City Schools

"Wonderful session. Stellar presenters. Great activities. Best session I've been to. They were on fi-yur!" - Participant, TESOL Toronto 2015

We are looking for at least 20 teachers or specialists who will join us for these interactive workshop sessions.  Please see the attached flyer for more details.

The total cost for both sessions combined is $125 per person.  Each participant will receive a certificate of participation for 6 hours worth of professional development.  Please email Deena Martins at dmartins@elhaynes.org to express interest.  Registration details will follow.
