Course objectives
To allow students to improve their skills in phonemic transcription along with enhancing their listening skills by means of ear-training; the focus of the lessons will be on the transcription of a range of texts (written, spoken, dictated) as well as reading from transcription, which will lead to the overall improvement of the students' pronunciation. In addition, the students (teachers-to-be) will become more confident in the use of the phonemic chart and will thus be able to implement it in their own teaching.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to:
- transcribe English texts even at an advanced level;
- transcribe texts from dictation;
- transcribe authentic recorded texts;
- read from transcription fluently;
- analyze the spoken word with more precision.
