授業の概要

This course introduces students to the study of Phonetics, the scientific study of speech sounds. It focuses on the segmental phonetics of English, or the study of individual speech sounds, but some interaction with other properties of the English sound system will also be covered. In addition, some attention will be paid to the differences between English and Japanese.

Overall, the course begins by highlighting the differences between English spelling and English pronunciation and recognizing the need for a different kind of alphabet to represent precisely how words are pronounced. While learning to use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), students will study the phonetic features of speech gestures including tongue position, lip shape, place of articulation, manner of articulation and more. Starting from the familiar set of 5 vowels (母音) in Japanese, we will study the 14-vowel system of English and then progress through the different classes of consonants (子音). The course ends with students learning about segment pronunciations change in fluently produced English speech.

科目目的

Studying the phonetics and phonology of English will give students a deeper understanding of the sounds of spoken English, their relationship to English spelling, and the principles that govern their sequence patterns within words. By connecting phonetics to pronunciation, students will identify aspects of their own English speech that would benefit from targeted pronunciation training and practice. Students interested in pursuing a career as an English teacher will gain a strong foundation that will prepare them for learning how to teach pronunciation.

到達目標

This course provides students with an in-depth understanding of segmental phonetics. Students will learn precisely how individual speech sounds of English are produced, with a special emphasis on those segments in spoken English that are not part of spoken Japanese. Students will become familiar with the International Phonetic Alphabet, or "IPA", which consists of a complete set of symbols for writing all of the speech sounds used in human language, though we will focus primarily on the symbols needed for the precise representation of Japanese and English pronunciation. Connecting phonetics to pronunciation will give students a strong foundation in the description and explanation of how English speech sounds are produced which will equip them to improve their own English pronunciation or to guide others in gaining accurate, fluent speech in English.
