On Thursday, October 16th, I spent the day at Atlantic City High. I had been invited by a Stockton alum and friend Mr. Kearney to introduce middle English pronunciation to 4 of his English classes. The students are starting to read The Canterbury Tales, and he thought it would be useful if they learned some approximation of Chaucer’s language. So, I worked with each class on reading the first 18 lines of the “General Prologue” aloud. You can hear the results of about 35 minutes explanation and practice below.
