Proceedings of Phonetics Teaching and Learning Conference (PTLC 2013). University College London. Londres. pp. 39-42.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14468/32108The goal of this paper is to present a new methodology for the teaching and learning of English intonation in a self-tuition environment based on a simplified version of the ToBI system. The new proposal aims at teaching students how to identify some of the most common tunes of English intonation and how to reproduce them in a distance learning setting. This is achieved with the help of audio and visual aids, as well as with an adaptation of the main tenets of the ToBI framework. Some of the differences between the new proposal and the original ToBI system include: 1) the presence of three tones (H, L, M), 2) the separation of metrical and tonal information, 3) the simplification of pre-nuclear accents, and 4) the incorporation of bitonal boundary tones.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess5505.10 Filología57 Lingüísticaactas de congresoToBIlevel tonesbitonalityaudio and visual aidsdistance learning
