- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to raise the student's awareness of problems a Czech student (and future teacher) of English can have in the area of individual sounds.Potential problems are identified and intesively dealt with in the form of school and home drills based on printed worksheets. An integral part of the course is individual home practice and individual work with the student during specialised consultations.
The notion of phoneme is introduced and the phonetic alphabet presented and further practised in phonemic transcriptions which are checked and commented on thoroughly at the beginning of each lesson with special regard to the acoustic differences of sounds existing in both languages. - Syllabus
- The following areas will be covered: - Introduction, phonetic alphabet. - Sound schwa. - English "open e" in contrast with the English "close e" and with the Czech "e". - English vowels "i" x "i:" and "u" x "u:". - English vowels in words like "cup" x "card", "hot" x "hall". - English diphthongs in words like "go", "here", "there". - Pronunciation of endings (past tense, plural),voiced consonants at the end of words. - English voiced and voiceless "th" - English velar "n" (ng); "v" x "w"; "r". - English "h", aspiration, dark "l" x clear "l".
