Course Basic Phonetics

Course Description

This course provides a foundational understanding of the sounds of human language, exploring the mechanisms of speech production and the systems used to transcribe and analyze speech. Students will focus on the intricacies of articulatory phonetics, examine how speech sounds are produced, and learn to use the International Phonetic Alphabet to transcribe and analyze speech data. They will also explore acoustic phonetics, investigating the physical properties of speech sounds. The course adopts a hands-on approach, emphasizing practical application through interactive activities, transcription exercises, and analysis of real-world speech examples. Assessment will be based on a combination of transcription exercises where students have to accurately transcribe and analyze speech samples using the IPA; practical assessments where students have to demonstrate their understanding of articulatory phonetics through sound production exercises; and written exams where students’ knowledge of key phonetic concepts and terminology will be assessed. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in phonetic theory and practical skills essential for various linguistic disciplines.

Program Objectives (PO)

Critically analyze and evaluate the phonetic properties of speech sounds using appropriate terminology and transcription systems (e.g., International Phonetic Alphabet - IPA).
Collaboratively analyze and transcribe diverse speech samples using the International Phonetic Alphabet, demonstrating effective communication of phonetic observations and interpretations within a team setting.

Effective Communication of Phonetic Knowledge
Compose a well-structured written analysis of a phonetic phenomenon, tailoring the content, language, and style for a specific audience (e.g., a research paper for a linguistics journal, a blog post for language enthusiasts).
Deliver clear, well-structured oral presentations and write well-organized, detailed texts on phonetic topics, using appropriate academic vocabulary and grammar structures consistent with CEFR B2 proficiency.
