We need labels for academic measurement, but do they really motivate us and are they always correct?

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

Are labels like A1, B2 and C1 Motivating or Debilitating?

In this Introductory Episode to my all new Podcast, I invite you to join me in this journey of Learning the Pronunciation Features of English. 

Together, we will practice Shadowing and listen to some clips from Native and Non-native Speakers and decode their Pronunciation. 

What will we learn? 
- Word Stress
- Sentence Stress and Weak Forms
- Thought Chunking
- Connected Speech
- Elision and Assimilation

And much more! 

I encourage you to Post any comments or doubts you have in the comments section. You can always reach out to me in my DMs. 

I hope to see you again in the next episode. 😄😊

P.S. No judgements please on my dorky editing 🤪😅

This podcast is only for my close friends. 

Have you ever been so confused you didn't know what to do or say? If so, you might find these words helpful.

If you're shocked by something, you can say you are "flabbergasted." No one knows where this word comes from, but it might come from "aghast," which means "horrified."

So if you got home and found that everything you own had been stolen, you might say, "I'm flabbergasted that they were able to steal everything without being seen!"

If something is very complicated and confusing, you can say you are "bewildered." This word probably comes from "to wilder," an old word that means "to make someone become lost."

So if the police were not able to find out anything about what happened, they might say, "We're bewildered — we have no idea who took your things."

Another word that could be used is "flummoxed," which also means "confused." People don't know for sure, but it may have come from "flummock," an old word that meant "to make untidy or confuse."

So you could say to the police, "I'm just as flummoxed as you are — I can't understand how they could have stolen everything."

If something is difficult to understand, you can say it's "perplexing," or makes you feel "perplexed." So the police might say, "I'm sorry, but we might not be able to find your things. This is a very perplexing case!"
