Dozent/in: Valentina Concu

 wöchentlich | Montag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 5.311 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Spoken language matters — in communication, academic life, and future teaching contexts. Yet pronunciation and spoken fluency often receive less systematic attention than grammar or writing in university language programs. In this weekly 90-minute course, students explore spoken English through a hands-on, discovery-based approach. Using their own recordings as well as selected speech samples, they investigate key features of English pronunciation, including vowels, consonants, stress, rhythm, pausing, and pitch. Students also work with basic acoustic tools such as Praat to visualize speech and connect what they hear with observable patterns in the speech signal. Beyond individual sounds, the course introduces selected insights from conversation analysis to explore how pronunciation and prosody shape spoken interaction, including turn-taking, emphasis, and the flow of dialogue. The course further addresses how pronunciation and fluency are evaluated, discussed, and taught in second language contexts.
