1. Warm Up Protocol
The essential WUP functions to enliven mind and body and vocal resonance of the learner. It is a regular re-orientation to the visual, tactile and expressiveauditory
anchoring to be used in class and for personal homework and independent study. The WUP, in any of its several varieties, should also be relaxing, rhythmic and
fun-- connecting the learner’s body, visual space and vocal tract in the L2—and serve to coax even the most reticent beyond the boundaries of their comfort zones.
2. Matrix visual field Anchoring Protocol
The MAP is a set of PMPs that projects the vowel space to the positions on the IPA Matrix “clock.” Imagine a square clock It serves as a critical setting to the entire
system. Think of the clock superimposed on the human body with 6 at the lateral center of the body at the level of the waistline and 12 centered just above the head.
There are vowels corresponding to each of the numbers of the clock, as well as combinations that go, for example, from 6 to 12, as in [a
y
].
3. Vowel word stress protocols 2
The VWSPs are based on the “clock” described above. There are really two basic sub-protocols that follow the same basic form, but cover different parts of the
vowel space. One VWSP is for the lax vowels—rough vowels in our terminology, another is for the tense vowels and diphthongs —double smooth vowels. For
example, the VWSP for rough lax vowels uses these key words: “Chicken cooks best with salt, fat, love and hot water. For “double smooth vowels the jingle is: She
may like the boy now and his dough, too
4. Syllable Butterfly Protocol
The SBP focuses on syllables and their relative prominence Burri Rauser, 2010. For this protocol, the left hand rests on the right shoulderdeltoid muscle
with the middle three fingers of the right hand resting on the outside of the left arm, below the elbow the bachio radialis muscle, in utterances containing from one to
seven syllables, of which one syllable is stressed. The right hand gently taps on unstressed syllables and the left hand taps strongly on stressed syllables.
