3. Objectives: The objective of this course will be to study in a practical way these sounds that humans make. Through this knowledge and experience, students will hopefully become better learners, speakers, and teachers of English and other languages.

4. Contents: Students will study the field of general phonetics and explore how it is connected with actual speaking. Students will study the sound systems of world Englishes but also study the sounds of Japanese and other languages. Current issues related to the sounds of these languages will be discussed such as: linguistic issues, dialects, and international Englishes. Each week, students will perform practical exercises for improving the students’ own confidence in themselves as they speak their English and other languages. Students will learn to use computer technologies that offer many different possibilities for teaching, learning and analyzing the sounds of the English.

Methods: Reading, diaries, discussion, computer, writing, lectures, presentations, drama

7. Students are expected to come to class prepared to actively participate in discussions and perform individual and group activities. Students will be expected to read, summarize and react to several articles on the varied topics we will cover. The final project will involve studying in depth one of the topics we have covered. Students will be expected to spend about 4-6 hours each week outside of class doing reading and summarizing, performing exercises, and preparing for class.

8. Texts: To be announced, APA manual, readings from instructor, materials from library and on the Internet
