| Objectives of the Course |
| The specific aim of the course is to provide students with a solid foundation for the study of the sound patterns of English. This is largely a practical course and students are thus introduced to the phonetic classification of the sounds of speech by means of a series of simple introspective experiments carried out inside their own vocal tracts, their throats, and mouths. By actually making sounds and attending to the muscular sensations that accompany their production students can discover how they are produced and learn how to describe and classify them. Students are encouraged to listen carefully and to notice differences in pronunciations. |

| Learning Outcomes |
| 1 | Students will be able to apply phonetic transcription symbols (IPA) to accurately represent and analyze the speech sounds of various languages, demonstrating an understanding of the sound production process. | | 2 | Students will comprehend the physiological mechanisms involved in speech production, including the movement of articulators and the airflow control, and will be able to describe how different speech sounds are produced. | | 3 | Students will develop the ability to distinguish between different speech sounds and phonemic contrasts across languages, demonstrating improved auditory discrimination skills. | | 4 | Students will be able to recognize and analyze suprasegmental features of speech, including stress, intonation, and pitch patterns, and understand how these features contribute to linguistic meaning and communication. |

| Course Contents |
| This course introduces students to basic concepts in phonetics, the scientific study of speech,
and in phonology, the study of sound patterns in various human languages with principal
emphasis on the English language. Students will gain an understanding of the articulatory
mechanisms for producing consonants, vowels, as well as stress and intonation. They will be
introduced to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). |
