Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

There are courses taking either American or British English as their teaching models. Please choose the accent you feel corresponds more closely to your English or the accent you can identify with more.

Assessment is based on an oral exam at the end of term including a presentation, reading and conversation, a presentation in class, a theory test, a portfolio on practical phonetics, and attendance/class participation.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- to improve students' pronunciation
- to improve students' oral presentation and reading skills
- to improve students' communication skills
- to re-inforce students' theoretical background in practical phonetics (including transcription)

Examination topics

Structure:
There is one two-hour practical class taught by a lecturer per week (UE 2-stündig) and a two-hour lab-session with a student tutor per week. Attendance at both is compulsory.

There is also a self-access audio centre in the library, 1st floor, which gives you plenty of opportunity for further practice. For detailed information see departmental notice boards. For any problems or suggestions please contact Dr. Bryan Jenner or Dr. Gunther Kaltenböck (NOT the library staff!)
