Type of course

obligatory courses

Prerequisites (description)

The aim of corrective French phonetics exercises is to familiarize students with the principles of correct pronunciation in French. The exercises are designed to develop phonemic awareness and accurate pronunciation through systematic practice in corrective phonetics. The classes take into account the specific difficulties Polish students encounter when learning the French phonetic system. Particular attention is given to sounds that do not occur in Polish, as their misperception and misarticulation can lead to errors that disrupt communication. The classes also address selected aspects of prosody, such as intonation, stress, and rhythm

Skills
- The student can identify, classify, and articulate the basic phonetic segments of French (oral and nasal vowels).
- The student can apply phonetic and phonological knowledge to analyze and eliminate typical articulation errors resulting from mother tongue interference (S1_U01, S1_U02).

Assessment criteria

Ongoing evaluation is based on the accuracy of discrimination and articulation exercises (S1_U01, S1_U02).
Periodic assessment is carried out in the form of oral and written tests (K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02).
The assessment covers:
-accuracy of perception of individual vowels,
- ability to correctly articulate French vowels,
- knowledge of phonogrammatic relations within the French vowel system,
- practical mastery of the basics of phonetic transcription.
