Mechanics SeriesThe Mechanics Series was developed for students who already cue, but may need to revisit key topics for applying Cued Speech to English. These classes are thorough and accurate. Cuers who are seeking to improve expressive cueing scores on standardized testing could benefit from attending. Mechanics I: Intensive :: 2 Days :: An overview of the essential elements of clear and accurate cued English. Topics include: form, consonant and vowel accuracy, connected discourse, flicks, and prosody. Students learn to prioritize errors based on: impact to meaning, clarity, and standardized test measures. Mechanics II: Worksession :: 2 Days :: In this course, students work on applying the concepts covered in Mech. I. Practice activities are structured to encompass a broad range of topics while allowing individuals to emphasize specific skills. Prosodic features of cued English are explored in detail. Mechanics III: Self-Assessment :: 2 Days :: The objective of this course is to provide students with a clear and accurate view of their cueing ability. Each student will prepare a cueing sample, then privately view and assess the material focusing on specific skills. Students learn techniques for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Mechanics IV: Consultation :: 2 Days :: This course is designed to help students cope with the anxiety that accompanies testing and evaluation. Strategies that boost performance on standardized testing are introduced. Students consult with each other and the instructor to construct a profile of their cueing skill level and determine readiness for testing. The Cued American English Mechanics Series is a collaborative effort between the Cued Language Network of America (CLNA) and Language Matters, Inc. (LMI). |
