Classroom

The course is intended for students who want to learn the pronunciation of C at B2 or C1 respectively. The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge in the field of (1) word, phrase and sentence accent, (2) prosody, (3) interpretation of different types / types of texts, (4) formal characteristics of phonemes, diphthongs and affricates, (5) phonetic transcription of IPA language C.

The course program includes the following topics: (1) a formal description of the phonetic system, in particular such distinctive phonemes as: / a /, / e /, / u /, / o /, / i /, / ü /, / ö /, / t /, / d /, / g /, / k /, / p /, / b /, / h /, / f /, / v /, / s /, / z /, / r /, and diphthongs and afrykat / au /, / eu / äu /, / ai /, / ts /, (2) prosody, including prosody of declarative, interrogative and exclamatory sentences as well as prosody in terms of basic emotions, (3) symbols of phonetic transcription of IPA, (4) metalanguage of phonetics with elements of phonology.

The program of the course assumes the development and improvement of competences in the area of identifying, distinguishing and correctly implementing phonemes through exercises with the teacher and through individual exercises. In addition, during the course the student learns to recognize and independently write the signs of phonetic transcription IPA and transcribe words and short sentences taken from current newspaper articles or textbooks. The student develops the ability to correctly read different types / types of texts and learns to describe phonemes, diphthongs and affricates using the terms meta-language of linguistics.

The course program is supported by a variety of audiovisual materials, including (1) short films with dialogue texts, (2) short reports, radio columns, (3) recordings of traditional songs, (4) recordings of authentic dia- and / or monologues. These materials significantly complement the basic textbooks (see literature) and contribute to an even more intense (multimodal) development of (inter-) cultural competences. The course therefore puts emphasis on using the latest (available) technologies, such as a computer, laptop or iPad. For this purpose, the lecturer systematically applies interactive display of the student's work results on the screen of the monitor. However, the student presents the results of his work through a PowerPoint or Knote presentation and learns to use the 'praat' program, used for the visualization and description of individual phonemes, so-called spectrograms and oscillograms.

The student's work implementing the subject is understood as follows: 30 hours attendance, including 15 hours reading and repetition (sounds, familiarity etc.), 5 hours speaking in group / pair, 2 hours preparation of the presentation for classes (work at home), 3 hours preparation for passing, 5 hours of independent work.
