Abstract
The Mirroring Project (Lindgren, et. al, 2005, Meyers, 2013, 2014, Tarone & Meyers, forthcoming) is a holistic and “top-down” approach used to improve the suprasegmentals and intelligibility of international teaching assistants (ITAs) giving short, oral monologues. While a rich history of literature supports the use of this approach with ITAs, a gap exists in how to support the growing population of international priests and seminarians in the US similarly needing to perform short oral monologues, but in a liturgical setting. This case study is an exploration of whether an adapted mirroring approach can be effective in improving the suprasegmental elements and intelligibility of an international seminarian training to preach in North American English (NAE).
