This module will be capped at 35.
Students must have successfully completed:
Sp 2-5: Lecture (1 hr)
Sp 7-10: Phonetic observation class (1hr)
Sp 2-5, 7-10: seminars and ear training classes (1 hr/wk)
Su 1-4: seminars and ear training classes (2 hr/wk)
Ear training classes limited to about 15 students; usually
2-3 sessions per cohort.
The practical sessions alternate between seminars and ear training in the spring term, and in the summer term, there is one seminar and one ear training session per week.
In particular, make sure you understand how the IPA can be used, and familiarise yourself with a couple of languages other than English. This will be a very good grounding for the work of the module.
All modules provide an opportunity to work on general oral/written communication skills (in class and in assessments) and general self management (organising your studies), alongside the specific skills in language or linguistics that the module teaches.
In addition, this module will allow you to particularly develop skills in oral communication: the module has an emphasis on oral work, and requires you to present yourself for oral examination in phonetics. Ear-training sessions will help you grow in presenting yourself with confidence.
