Course objectives
This course explores those areas of English pronunciation that Czech students of English find difficult. Our aim is native-like pronunciation. Students are able to work with authentic materials, mimicking and drill help Ss to reach this higher level of pronunciation. Students are also trained to transcribe heard and seen text, and to enhance their ability to transfer our classroom materials to the primary school environment. Self-study is a crucial part of this course. Throughout the semester students are encouraged to link theory in the classroom to practice at schools via practical tasks.
