I don't know what this has got to do with TOEFL, but I found the clip when I typed in "How to deal with your anger" in the Youtube search field.

I gave it a try, guess what... Anger's gone!

[greathey]

He can't be serious, a rock star? memory of an elephant? what's he all about?

[sweetsairin]

He made me forget that he was trying to teach something about English, making me laugh loud out xD I wish I could have him as a teacher in any university I'm applying into.

Is this man OK? I feel that he gets some trouble with his brain.

[g0lly91]

I thought that so!!

I don't see how it helps you to do better in your speaking..!

[HapticKid]

12katto85 asks a great question!

The answer maybe depends on what you do in the field:

Phonetician: Sets up the basic IPA matrix

Pronunciation teacher: a warm up or way to quickly teaching basic vowels

Speaking teacher: loosen up exercise, fun

DramaESL teacher: typical stuff (a bit extreme)

Psychologist: by modeling, encourages students to move beyond comfort zones

Pronunciation teaching cynic: makes fun of the goofy stuff pronunciation people do

Conversation instructor: encourages risk taking

[12katto85]

what the heck is this !!!!

[clojo125]

this is embarrassing....bring back madeleine!

[mrnobodyzzz]

-.-"

[HapticKid]

Most of the techniques in this video are (loosely) based on the work of Alan Maley, Arthur Lessac . . and probably a little too much caffeine Thursday afternoon at the TESOL conference Denver! When done appropriately for the classroom context, the Rock Star Vowel-a-font, Sampson's Jaw Swing and Opera Diva Catelephant are effective from several perspectives.

[Sandtiger20]

Awesome video! I love how you make the vowels so alive. I've tried these techniques with my students and have had some amazing results with them over the years! Whether for beginners or advanced ESL learners, this stuff works! It's amazing what you can do when you're willing to use your imagination and put a little fun into language learning!

"director of a Masters degree program in TESOL at a Canadian university." PLEASE!!

Is this supposed to be educational?
