Phonetics ( G1,2,3,4 and 5)

The objective of this course is to acquaint students with English pronunciation, putting emphasis

on stress placement because of its importance in speech. In addition to this, the shift to aspects of

connected speech such as weak forms, elision, linking and assimilation as well as intonation aims to

help students develop both their speaking and listening competencies to be fluent and also

to have the ability to understand native speakers for the sake of good communication.
