MAKE IT CLEAR: INTONATION AND SOUNDS (PHONEMES) Steven Bloomberg | Communications Skills Developer

This class is all about intonation. The most import part of English pronunciation is intonation. Inton is the contrast between higher-sounding parts of speech and lower-sounding parts of speech. Often, when people don’t understand what you say, it has to do with intonation. Get English intonation under control, and greatly diminish the fre with which you experience this problem. And, with enough practice, you might even be able to eliminate this problem. During this cour you’ll also learn how to pronounce sounds (phonemes) that are di–cult for you.

WHITE PEOPLE CHALLENGING RACISM: MOVING FROM TALK TO ACTION — PART 1 Cory Allen, Margaret Bad Warrior | Co-facilitators While this five-session workshop welcomes participants of all identities, its focus is on racism as a system that White people created, maintain and condone—and White people have a responsibility to dismantle. The workshop will take participants beyond the headlines to impart an antiracist world view that will infuse every aspect of participants’ lives, when hearts are open to it. In this small online group setting you will: examine the role of White people in dismantling racism, becoming antiracist, and building an equitable society; We will also explore the impact of White privilege and how being unaware of that advantage helps perpetuate racism; write about your own racial awareness journey; enhance your understanding and capacity for action through discussion of short readings, videos, and other materials; share everyday racism-related situations where you may not have e‹ectively responded and, using role plays, work out e‹ective ways to challenge racism; and develop a specific plan for challenging racism in the workplace, an organization, or in the community, while being encouraged to find other people in your life who can provide support and serve as an accountability partner in implementing your plan. Please note: Attendance at all sessions and completion of all assignments are required. Each participant will receive a phone call from one of the facilitators prior to the start of this program to review the commitment and class requirements.
