Syllabus for Summer 2010

Week 1
Introduction to standard American English pronunciation. Throughout the class, we will be using the standard American sound rules used by professional or national speakers.

Vowel Sounds (A, E, I, O, U)

Week 2
Consonants (T, L, R, Th, V/W, others as needed)

Week 3
Finish Consonants, Begin Stress and Rhythm

Week 4
Stress and Rhythm

Every Week
We learn sound rules and practice with lists of common words. You can continue to practice with the lists at home.
Then we apply the rules to reading and speaking practice. We use many different sources: plays we read aloud with standard conversation, monologues, articles from the internet or local news and group or pair conversations that we record on a small voice recorder. Through all of these techniques, we learn the basics of English pronunciation while getting feedback on individual words or phrases.

* there is also a $10 registration fee for nonstudents, $5 for students. This fee is paid to the UW college.
