They will be able to analyze the sound structure of languages and to characterize speech sounds according to their phonetic properties. They will understand and will also be able to explain principles of phonetic transcription and, moreover, to use it in their further study. On the basis of the knowledge acquired, they will be able to evaluate and recognize errors arisen during transcription of spoken languages.
