It is not true that a more native-speaker-like pronunciation can only be acquired in the language's country of origin. Knowledge about the workings of our speech apparatus as well as of the phonetic and phonotactic conventions of the foreign language can contribute immensely to one's sounding more like a native from England or America for that matter. In addition it may also prove worth while to contrast the phoneme inventory of the foreign tongue with that of one's mother tongue in order to be able to "hear with a foreign ear" and thus speak with a foreign tongue. The seminar will focus on the necessary theoretical issues, pronunciation training as well on the art of transcribing British and American English phonologically and, to some extent, phonetically. |
