The aim of the Phonetics Workshop is to offer students the guidance and
opportunities to fluently read phonologically transcribed texts and a wide
variety of written genres, ranging from English nursery rhymes, tonguetwisters, and American jazz chants to poems, drama dialogues, descriptions
and narrations.
Practice will be carried out through a series of 15 Moodle workshops over
each term. These will include: (a) Reading Phonological transcription tasks,
(b) Phonological transcription, (c) Phonological dictation, and (d) Storytelling.
(1 hour per week).
IV. ASSESSMENT:
(a) One paper on theoretical English phonetics and phonology. This paper will
also include a phonological transcription of a passage of English, a dictation
of a passage of English to be transcribed phonologically, and a phonological
analysis from a contrastive point of view. (50% of the final mark)
(b) Oral assessment. (50% of the final mark)
Students oral production will be assessed as follows:
(b1) Students will have to accomplish and record three oral tasks each
term. These will be submitted to the lecturer via the Moodle platform.

given the opportunity to hand them over to the Lecturer on the
examination day.
N.B.: To pass the subject, it is compulsory for the students to carry out all
their assignments and submit them via the Moodle platform for the report
that will be issued at the end of the term.
