methodology of accent studies
pedagogical implications
implications of phonological change

We are privileged to have three plenary speakers:
- Professor J.C. Wells, will speak about the polling carried out for the new
edition of the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary.

speak about Cognitive Phonology and how it can help with teaching pronunciation.
- Professor Yvan Rose, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Collegium de
Lyon, will introduce the Phon software and PhonBank database and discuss how
they can benefit research on the phonology of second language acquisition.
The language of the conference is English. A selection of conference papers
will be published by the LLS research group at the University of Savoie.

The conference is organized by a team of teachers and students coordinated by
Alice Henderson of the University of Savoie (lecturer in English in the
