Cíle předmětu
Ss will understand how the English sound system works on the segmental level. The reference accent used for the description of individual sounds is General British. Besides the classification of English vowels and consonants, the basic processes of connected speech are also introduced, namely assimilation, elision and linking. The practically oriented section of the course aims at developing Ss’ transcription skills as well as production and perception of selected pronunciation features with respect to the differences between L1 and L2.

Moreover, Ss will be able to use phonemic transcription of individual words and short expressions both actively and passively. Finally, Ss will be able to identify the main processes of connected speech and employ the studied features in their own speech.
