Course Objectives: | ELT1107 Listening and Pronunciation II course aims at providing students with sub-skills of listening such as note-taking, predicting, extracting specific and detailed information, guessing meaning from context, and getting the gist; phonetics; aural authentic listening materials such as interviews, movies, songs, lectures, TV shows and news broadcasts of different accents of English |
The students who have succeeded in this course; By the end of the course, students should be able to: • produce accurate and intelligible English, • more comfortable listening to rapidly spoken English, • produce rhythmically appropriate sentences (i.e. those that will be readily understood both by native and non-native speakers), • identify consonant and vowel clusters in word initial, medial, and final and use it across word boundaries (i.e. connected speech), • improve pronunciation skills at a segmental level with special emphasis on the phonetic alphabet and problem sounds for Turkish students, • improve pronunciation skills at a suprasegmental level by focusing on word stress, sentence stress, intonation and linking, • improve listening skills and strategies of students in academic and everyday English, • implement strategies to improve their oral communication and listening comprehension, • be familiar with different native and non-native accents of English |
This course is designed to help students whose native language is not English to gain functional intelligibility, functional communicability, increase self-confidence, and speech monitoring abilities. This entails a better control of their pronunciation during a communicative task, a faster recovery from a communicative breakdown, and the overall intelligibility during spontaneous speech. The course will focus on higher level listening skills and strategies such as note-taking, predicting, extracting specific and detailed information, guessing meaning from context, and getting the gist through content-based activities. Students will be provided with the fundamentals of listening and phonetics namely vowels, consonants, stress in words, rhythm and intonation. Throughout the course, students will also be exposed to aural authentic listening materials such as interviews, movies, songs, lectures, TV shows and news broadcasts. This course also aims to equip student-teachers with a strong sensitivity towards different accents of English language being spoken around the world. Collaborative learning through group and pair work will be encouraged |
