English phonetics for language teachers II

foreign languages
obligatory courses

After completing the course, students have in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of the method and principles of pronouncing speech sounds in English, taking into account their mutual influences in the context of words and sentence; they are able to apply this knowledge in the further stages of their own pronunciation learning

Blended learning

The aim of the course is to develop and shape the awareness and phonetic sensitivity of students; preparing them to work independently on their own English pronunciation; further supporting students in getting rid of the unfavorable features of their own pronunciation and in achieving correct pronunciation, enabling fluent communication and subsequent teaching

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)
