Pronunciation plays a significant role in language learning. It directly affects learners’communicative competence as well as performance. One of the key requirements for language proficiency is to secure understandable pronunciation for the language learners. The goal of the course is to help students achieve intelligible pronunciation, boost self-confidence and facilitate communication.
This course will involve the segmental level (e.g., ship/sheep) and the supra-segmental (macro) level including linking, intonation and stress. Particular attention is given to identifying specific pronunciation features that cause problems for learners, raising the awareness of the prosodic features of language (stress, intonation, rhythm), expected to developing learners’ communicative competence.
