Spanish 1003 - Beginnong Spanish/English

Project Summary

This course is intended to provide English Studies undergraduates with an introduction to English Phonology understood from both a theoretical and applied perspective. As such, the course is designed to help students build the basic foundations of English Linguistics within the module "Description and Analysis of the English Language" with special attention to the differences and similarities between the phonological systems of English, Catalan and Spanish. Students will acquire a general theoretical knowledge of the main concepts in English segmental and suprasegmental phonology. From the applied perspective, students will learn to apply this theoretical knowledge to reduce fossilized pronunciation habits and achieve accent-free pronunciation as a requirement to use English in their professional careers.
