Dr. Robin Barr

• From January 27-28, Dr. Barr was invited to give a 2-day plenary workshop on "Psycholinguistics and Teaching Pronunciation" for the Fulbright FLTA Mid-Year Conference. She usually give this talk for them every year, but this year they quickly had to shift to all-virtual and split it over two days. They had almost 400 participants in 40 or so breakout rooms, and luckily she had the assistance of some AUTESOL students and alumni as facilitators: many thanks to Vera Abankwa and Connie Gelb (MA TESOL 2012)! •
• On Friday, March 11, Dr. Barr was the eponymous linguist in ELTS's "Ask the Linguist" discussion hour.
• On Wednesday, May 4 at 6:30 p.m., Dr. Barr will again be the official "pronouncer" for the annual MCAEL (Montgomery Coalition for Adult English Literacy) adult Spelling Bee -- this time in person, she hopes! This is the annual fund-raiser, so you have to pay for tickets, or you can sponsor a vowel, for example. There’s a chance it might be streamed live, so stay tuned for more information. www.mcael.org
