Prerequisites (description)

(in Polish) Ćwiczenia z fonetyki korektywnej języka francuskiego mają umożliwić uczestnikom zajęć kształcenie oraz doskonalenie słuchu fonematycznego oraz poprawnych nawyków artykulacyjnych na poziomie segmentalnym oraz na poziomie prozodii. Celem zajęć jest także przygotowanie do poprawnego odkodowywania i stosowania znaków alfabetu fonetycznego (API).

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes in the study programme: K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02, S1_K01, S1_K02.
Knowledge:
The student has an advanced knowledge and understanding of concepts and phenomena related to the phonetic and phonological subsystems of the French language, including the principles governing the use of the IPA alphabet (K_W03).
The student possesses advanced knowledge of the differences between the phonetic systems of Polish and French and understands their potential consequences for the communicative accuracy of oral production in a foreign language (K_W03).
Skills:
The student is able to accurately perceive, classify and distinguish in speech all oral single-sound and multiple-sound vowels, nasal vowels, as well as French semi-vowels and consonants. They also have knowledge of phonogrammatic relations between individual phonemes and their corresponding graphemes (S1_U01, S1_U02).
The student is able to optimally apply their knowledge of the operation of phonetic subsystems in both their native language and French in order to implement corrective procedures aimed at eliminating interference-related errors (S1_U01, S1_U02).
The student is capable of independently improving their skills at both the segmental and suprasegmental levels, in particular with regard to intonation and rhythmic patterns, as well as the stress patterns of words and rhythmic groups (S1_U02).
Social competences:
The student is prepared to critically evaluate their level of phonological competence and to constructively receive and provide feedback (S1_K01).
The student knows and satisfactorily adheres to the principles of academic integrity and professional ethical standards in the process of developing phonological competence in both themselves and other learners of French (S1_K02).

Assessment criteria

1. Course Completion Requirements
To be admitted to course completion, the following conditions must be met:
– attendance at classes (two absences are permitted; unjustified absences beyond this limit result in a fail grade (NK) and the necessity to repeat the course),
– timely completion of all compulsory written and/or oral assignments carried out during classes and on the e-learning platform.
The final grade is determined on the basis of the assessment methods and criteria described in Section 2, according to the assigned weightings.

2. Assessment Methods
1. Oral Tests
– Description: Oral tests evaluate skills related to correct articulation of sounds, the use of different stress patterns, application of various rhythmic patterns, and the meaningful use of intonation patterns. They also assess the ability to read aloud and convey meaning through the correct marking of rhythmic groups and the appropriate application of prosodic features. During the oral tests, students’ ability to understand phonetic transcription is also evaluated.
– Weight in the final grade: 50%
– Verified learning outcomes: K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02, S1_K01, S1_K02.

2. Written Tests
– Description: Written tests assess the correct perception of segmental and suprasegmental elements (perception and differentiation of phonological oppositions, perception and interpretation of stress, rhythmic patterns, and intonation schemes). Written tests also verify the degree of mastery of phonogrammatic relations (transition from phoneme to grapheme), as well as knowledge and skills related to the use of phonetic alphabet symbols in phonetic transcription.
– Weight: 50%
– Verified learning outcomes: K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02, S1_K01, S1_K02.

3. Assessment Criteria
Oral Tests
– correctness of French sound articulation (S1_U01, S1_U02),
– ability to self-correct and correct pronunciation errors (S1_K01),
– accuracy in identifying rhythmic groups in speech, applying different stress patterns, rhythmic and intonation schemes, and conveying appropriate meaning (K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02),
– accuracy in reading phonetic transcription using IPA symbols (K_W03, S1_K02).
Written Tests
– correctness in perceiving and distinguishing phonological oppositions at the segmental level (S1_U01, S1_U02),
– correctness in distinguishing and interpreting suprasegmental elements (K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02),
– correctness of orthographic transcription (K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02, S1_K01, S1_K02),
– correctness of phonetic transcription (K_W03, S1_U01, S1_U02, S1_K01, S1_K02).

IMPORTANT: The assessment criteria for oral and written tests are applied jointly. All must be met at a satisfactory level.

Grading Scale
90–100% – 5
85–89% – 4.5
75–84% – 4
70–74% – 3.5
60–69% – 3
0–59% – 2
