Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Course Coordinator : Dr. Öğr. Üyesi MUSTAFA POLAT
Course Objectives: This course aims to help students use IPA symbols and their frequently associated spelling patterns at both word and sentence level, count the number of syllables in words and phrases, produce rhythmically appropriate sentences (i.e. those that will be readily understood both by native and non-native speakers), identify and use appropriate stress in words, phrases and sentences

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Students will be trained to perceive and produce English consonants and vowels in articulatory terms and be able to use and read the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols.
2. Students will be able to transcribe speech using the IPA
3. Students will gain a familiarity with connected speech and other accents of English.
4. Students will also improve their own pronunciation skills, and gain a better understanding of the teaching of English pronunciation.
5. Students will identify organs of speech articulation

Course Content

This course aims at exploring speech sounds as physical entities (phonetics) and as linguistic units (phonology). In terms of sounds as physical elements, these questions will be answered: How are speech sounds made? What types of movements and configurations of the vocal tract are used to produce sounds in the world's languages?
In the phonology part of the course, the focus is on sounds as members of a particular linguistic system. Phonological data from a wide range of languages are analyzed. Throughout the course, a major emphasis is placed on the fact that speech sounds are simultaneously physical and linguistic elements and that these two aspects of sound structure are interdependent.
