OPENING HEARTS
Fourth International SEAL Conference in Argentina - February 15-16-17, 2002

Silvia Aida Noya De Mandra

Silvia has been working in the area of Phonetics and Phonology for the more than ten years, at Universidad Nacional Del Comahue, together with teaching English to non-University students.

In recent years she has been studying Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), which she reports as having opened a new chapter in her life both as a teacher and as a person. Further, each new discovery has had a profound effect on her whole practice.

About Vowels And Instrument

This is another way to present simple vocalic sounds, shifting the focus on the content to the how learners learn. I use it in combination with traditional methods at University.

The segmental sounds are compared and paired with a musical instrument played at a certain note.
