Course Information

English

Intended learning outcomes

Admission to this course will take place AFTER the results of the Placement Test have been received by the instructor. An e-mail explaining the course schedule will take place thereafter.

On completing the course, students should be familiar with

the phonemes of English, primary focus will be on American English;
intonation and other prosodic features;
word and sentence stress;
the IPA notation of the above and their realization in an American standard; and
connected-speech phenomena: linking, reduction, pausing.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Lecture, group work, individual work, extensive at-home practice

This course will be conducted via blended-learning. This means there will be some classes when you will need to be present in the classroom, some where you are working on assignments on your own, and some where we are all online together (but not together in the same room). This schedule will be discussed and agreed upon with students insofar as possible. I will be in contact after the admission process (Aufnahmeselektion) is complete with further details.

You should have, at a minimum, a device with a stable internet connection, a microphone and headset, and (should it be needed) a camera. These will facilitate any eLearning sessions in this course.

Course content

Word and phrasal stress;
Intonation and other ;suprasegmental elements of English;
