English phonetics for language teachers II 4100-3SFDNJO
The aim of the course is to develop and shape the awareness and phonetic sensitivity of students; further assisting students in getting rid of the unfavorable features of their own pronunciation, as well as in achieving the fluency and correctness of pronunciation expected from the English teacher (in relation to the accent chosen as the pattern/model); preparing them to work independently on their own English pronunciation and its continuous improvement; introducing selected elements of the phonetic description of the English language and phonological issues necessary to improve pronunciation.
The curriculum includes theoretical issues and practical training in the correct articulation of consonants and vowels; essential allophonic and allomorphic phenomena, word-to-word phonetics; assimilations and elisions; weak and strong forms of grammatical words; word and sentence stress, rhythm and intonation; comparison of the English and American standard of pronunciation (SES and GA); selected issues in the phonetics of the Polish language; phonetic transcription (phonemic, allophonic). The course is conducted in a mixed mode (14 hours stationary + 16 hours remotely, asynchronously)

Term 2023Z:
Drilling exercises that integrate all pronunciation elements that affect the rhythm and intonation in oral statements, as well as the fluency and intelligibility of utterance. Using appropriate allophonic processes, such as shortening and lengthening of vowels depending on the prosodic position and phonetic context, assimilating the place of articulation of individual sounds and avoiding assimilation or processes imposed by the native language. Use of weak forms and reduction of vowels, and the processes of vowel and consonant elision. Inter-word phonetics, word linking. Practicing intonation patterns and the relationship between intonation and pragmatics. Regular transcription workshops and homework based on various forms of text and transcription by listening |

Assessment criteria
Class attendance, homework on phonetic transcription, systematic assessment of the mastery of individual speech sounds and their modifications depending on the phonetic, phonological, and pragmatic context. The final mark is the average of all marks. Materials for self-study as part of asynchronous classes are available on the course website on the Kampus 1 or 2 platform. Timely completion of tasks on the platform is a condition for passing.
