Course objectives
Against the background of selected chapters from A. C. Gimson's An Introduction to the Pronunciation of English, this course is intended to form a link between theoretical mastery of fundamental notions in phonetics and their realization in the student's speech. Attention is focused on the sounds of speech (their description and classification) as well as their combi-nation in words and connected speech with special regard to stress, rhythm and intonation. Practical pronunciation and transcription exercises constitute more than 75 percent of class-work. Assessment: student attendance, theoretical and practical tests, pronunciation, student progress.
