SPAN 415 Introduction to Spanish Phonetics and Pronunciation (3 SH)

Intro to Spanish Phonetics and Pronunciation serves any advanced level Spanish speakers, both heritage speakers and speakers of Spanish as a foreign language, in their desire to gain clarity and accuracy in their own pronunciation. In the course of the semester the students will travel through the phonology of the Spanish language, including the phonetic landscape and minor variations. The course will provide an introduction to transcription, phonology, morphology and syntax in the language as well as provide an overview of linguistic change and brief introduction of geographic variation and will guide students as they hone their own accents in Spanish into a clear and easily understood variation free of influence from other languages. (Can fulfill a portion of Spanish Ed. Pre-K-12 licensure requirements.) (Fall 2021, Fall 2024)
