This course aims to explore the effective ways to teach English pronunciation to EFL learners. The first half of the semester will be used to intensively read the textbook and understand the basic terminology, concepts and theories used in the description of the sound system of English. In the second half of the semester, based on the comparison of the target language (English) and learners' native language, we will analyze the problems that learners face. All students are required to read the textbook critically, give oral presentation of the assigned section, and actively participate in discussion.
