When transcribing in class, should transcriptions reflect the trainer’s model or default to RP, even if different from own accent? What about trainee teachers?

What would you consider best practices for transcription detail in initial teacher training (e.g. we ask our Trinity students to mark all intrusive sounds)?

Are there any (online) tools that you'd recommend for transcribing voice to phonemic script and to read phonemic script out (e.g. to show differences)?

03/10/2025

Are phonemic transcription conventions universal or set by each institution (e.g. what a broad transcription is)?

For students who are at the Beginner Level of studying English, what are the top three intonation patterns they should learn?

Japanese textbooks and dictionaries have long used /hɔt/ instead of /hɒt/. What is the difference between these phonemes? Is /ɔ/ used in SBE?

Can intonation patterns help us identify candidates reading from a script instead of talking naturally (e.g. in online speaking tests)? If so, how?
