OER audio/video for ESL tone/speaker's attitude?

[Maggie F Frankel]

​Hello fellow OER people, 

I have a colleague who teaches ESL (English as a Second Language) and is looking for OER videos or audio that teach the speaker's tone/attitude (She further describes her needs below). She's searched online and asked the other ESL faculty, and I've searched the relevant OER repositories that I can think of. Do any of you have any leads? If so, could you please email her at bh...@ccsf.edu ? 

"I am teaching an online course that focuses on listening. I am doing a unit on tone, the speaker's attitude. And I have a really hard time finding any audio/video files or online exercises where my students can practice listening to the tone, the speaker's attitude. Might you be able to know of sources that I can use for my "speaker's attitude - Tone" unit?

Thank you in advance for helping me."

Thank you all for your consideration! 

Maggie Frankel, MLIS

Good morning/afternoon, Maggie!

Some folks from our Graduate College at Iowa State University developed this book, Oral Communication for Non-Native Speakers of English, for ESL graduate students, which I think might help in this situation! Feel free to check it out on Pressbooks. Its main focus is on "listening, speaking, lexicogrammar, pragmatics, and pronunciation." There is a section on intonation and how that translates to meaning/implied meaning in English.

It doesn't cover tone for sarcasm, etc, but it covers a lot of the basics. There is likely a YouTube series that covers some of this as well, and I'm hoping others will know of some additional resources to share!

Sincerely,

Abbey Elder (she/they)
