The course is taught in the first two years of the BA programme, with one class per week in 2BA. There is a division into so-called “British” and “American” groups, which is reflected in the pronunciation model used. The aim is for the students to develop consistent, fully intelligible pronunciation based on native phonemic and allophonic models. The teaching/learning process involves the following: exposure (e.g. pronunciation-based listening; transcription); production (e.g. drills and exercises in class; individual homework practice and pairwork, with and without recordings); transfer to new contexts (e.g. prepared and improvised dialogues, monologues, speeches, text reading, etc.). Pronunciation training in 2BA deals with suprasegmental features: word and sentence stress, rhythm, intonation, connected speech phenomena, e.g. linking, elisions, assimilations.
