Pronunciation and Intonation (only for secondary education English students; entrance exam required)

Inhalt

This course aims to introduce students to basic elements of pronunciation and intonation from both a theoretical and practical point of view, starting out with ‘articulatory phonetics’ (i.e. manner and place of articulation) and then progressing to aspects of ‘connected speech’ (assimilation, elision and weak forms), and also to provide practice at improving students’ own pronunciation competence. The pronunciation model used in the course is standard British English. However, students are free to take any comprehensible, standard native speaking variant as their own model.

Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen

Ziel

By the end of the course students will be able to explain and exemplify basic terminology, to transcribe, at word and sentence level, using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), so that they are prepared for future linguistic seminars and can thus successfully speak, read and write about the properties of sounds in an academic context. Students will also be able to demonstrate an acceptable standard of English pronunciation (C1), with emphasis on aspects covered during the course.

Course description
Content
**NOTE: Understanding Fiction and Poetry and Understanding Drama and Film are offered every semester: you can do them at any time and in any order**

This course offers an introduction to the ABC method of reading and teaching literature, with a focus on (A)nalysis, (B)ook response and (C)reative writing. The course introduces students to the (A)nalytical tools of literature, to be applied to novels, short stories and poetry. (C)reative and Reader (B)ook response exercises have practical use in the classroom. Focusing on English-language novels, short stories and poems, students will become familiar with various generic categories as well as with important terms and methods specific to the study of fiction and poetry.
For this course, students must work with a novel or graphic novel of their own choice. Bring your chosen book or selection to class in week 1.
Choice of novel: Must be originally published in English and over 150 pages long. You can choose to work with a partner with the same book. Any genre is OK, including romance, historical, science fiction, fantasy, American or British classics (eg from the Salzburg Leseliste). It is not recommended to choose a postmodern novel, a very long classic, or a book in the middle of a series. No Jane Austin or Oscar Wilde, please!
Previous Knowledge Expected

Objective
(Expected Results of Study
and Acquired Competences)
Students will become acquainted with English-language literary texts and poems and think about techniques of teaching these in the EFL school classroom. They will be able to identify literary devices and apply distinctive methods of textual analysis in order to reveal their functions in the text. They will become familiar with techniques of close reading and with the contextual embedding of a text within its socio-historical and cultural background, and will thus be equipped to respond to any new literary text autonomously in oral and written contributions as well as in a longer research paper.
