In this course, you will be exposed to the essential phonetic aspects of language that impact communication skills. You will explore the norms and functions of word and sentence stress, the changes that occur to sounds/spoken words in connected speech, diverse accents of the English language, the rhythms of effective speech, and the different patterns of intonation. Through theory and hands-on practice, you'll gain the tools to understand stress's impact on meaning, how connected speech transforms language, how accents reflect culture, the importance of rhythm, and how intonation adds emotion to speech.
