español. 2 ed.
Course
description and prerequisites:
Spanish 320 provides an understanding of Spanish
articulatory phonetics and helps students improve their pronunciation by
training them in articulatory habits to make their pronunciation more
native-like. This course requires the knowledge of Spanish that students
acquire at the 200 level in intermediate Spanish. This course should not be
taken until a student has shown proficiency beyond the intermediate level;
therefore, prior to this course students must have taken SPN 214.
Objectives:
1. To describe and acquire the segmental
(pronunciation of the Spanish sounds) and suprasegmental (intonation,
accentuation,
etc.) features that are active in the pronunciation of Spanish.
2. To analyze the basic phonological processes of
Spanish, including syllable structure and consonant cluster behavior.
3. To characterize the principal phonetic
characteristics of varieties of Spanish in
to
transcribe them phonetically.
4. To contrast Spanish and English sound systems.
Methodology:
The class is going to be based on readings and
discussion of topics from the book by Teschner, therefore, it requires the
student to be prepared before coming to class. Your preparation includes the study and practice of the material at home. Moreover, pronunciation practice,
listening, transcribing and analysis of recorded materials will be done in the
laboratory.
Grade
breakdown:
3 exams (oral and written)………………………………..……. 40%
Participation, presentation, songs, exercises and
laboratories… 30%
2 Oral interviews……………………………….……………… 30%
Thirty percent of the final grade will be comprised of
class participation (7%), one presentation (5%), practical exercises (7%) (some
assigned as homework), songs (4%) and laboratory work (7%). Another thirty
percent will be based on two oral interviews with the instructor in order to
assess the student’s progress in improving his/her pronunciation.
Grade
scale:
95-100= A 80-82 = B- 67-69 = D+
90-94 = A- 77-79 = C+ 63-66 = D
87-89 = B+ 73-76 = C 60-62 = D-
83-86 = B 70-72 = C- < 59 = F
Accommodation
statement:
“CMU provides students with disabilities reasonable
accommodations to participate in educational programs, activities, or
reasonable accommodations to participate in class activities or to meet course
requirements should first register with the office of Student Disability
Services (120 Park Library, 989-774-3018), and then contact the professor as
soon as possible.”
Attendance Policy:
It is imperative that you attend every class meeting
and programmed laboratory session. There are no make-ups of the laboratories
nor of in-class practical exercises.
Therefore, absences will directly affect your grade in participation,
laboratory and class work. For more details on the Academic Senate’s policy on
attendance and the Missed Class policy please see the college web page.
Academic
Honesty:
I encourage working together with other students;
however, work merely copied from another is a form of cheating. The same
warning applies to copying observed during tests. For more information on the
Policy on Academic Integrity, check the CMU web site at http://academicsenate.cmich.edu/noncurric.htm
