DESCRIPTION
This course is a follow-up to the first-year pronunciation course and aims to provide advanced training in pronunciation skills as well as an advanced understanding of the core principles and topics of English phonetics and phonology. The course covers all the main aspects of English pronunciation at both segmental and suprasegmental levels and focusses on the description of the basic features of present-day RP. In order to gain a thorough understanding of pronunciation, students are also provided training in phonemic transcription and are required to analyze samples of deviant spoken discourse. Because most students taking this course wish to pursue a career as teachers of English as a Foreign Language, particular attention is drawn to major issues in the teaching and assessment of pronunciation, including FL phonetic learning processes and correction techniques.
Course will consist of 60hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.
