This course focuses on improving students' perception and pronunciation of American English through learning articulation, phonetics, and phonology. Students learn the basics of anatomy of speech production in order to understand how difficult sounds and sound contrasts are made. Students also learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to help them distinguish sound contrasts that are difficult depending on the individual students' native languages.

Finally, students learn and practice intonation appropriate for various types of statements and questions.

This course is intended for international Teaching Assistants (ITAs) with advanced English skills and satisfactory pronunciation who wish to further improve their communication and public speaking skills, as well as better understand the cultural norms of the American academia. Students refine their pronunciation and intonation, practice designing and giving presentations, learn the basics of conversation and e-mail etiquette in America, as well as the norms of interacting with college students, professors, and colleagues in various academic situations such as classes, office hours, lab meetings, and scientific meetings. This course is appropriate as a follow-up to American English Pronunciation (AS 370.602) or as a stand-alone course for students with satisfactory pronunciation.

Grammar will be infused into the course as it applies to revision and editing of written work and consistency within various types of writing. Students will use a variety of strategies to improve skills in idea development, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, voice, grammar and mechanics. Writing tasks will be integrated with content, vocabulary, and grammar from various texts.
