The Project (20%)

The project aims to facilitate the integration and application of the course content, stimulate critical thinking and reflection, and encourage autonomous learning. You are required to use the skills and insights you are developing in this course to conduct an in-depth assessment of one person's pronunciation. This task will involve:

Group Work

You are required to work in groups of three. Group work requires interpersonal skills, maturity and responsibility. All three group members are required to work collaboratively on each component of the project.

Data collection

Find a cooperative person (preferably a secondary school student) whose pronunciation you would like to work on. Record this person reading a short passage (see sample). Note that clarity of the recording is crucial. Groups within a class are encouraged to collect data from samples that vary in terms of background (ethnicity, state).

Analysis of the Data

Transcribe the recorded data. Analyse the transcription and diagnose the subject's pronunciation difficulties. You will have to write generalisations of the pronunciation difficulties you have discovered, and provide as many examples as possible from the transcribed data. The following websites may prove useful for downloading IPA fonts for your computer:

Findings

From the pronunciation difficulties diagnosed, select two (or three) segmental or suprasegmental aspects and discuss why you think these features of pronunciation are important to correct

A Report

Write a report of not more than 1,500 words covering the following aspects:

1.0    The Subject (include relevant details, like L1, age, ethnic background, nationality etc.)
2.0    The Data (The Reading passage); Orthographic and phonemic transcription
            3.0    Analysis and discussion of pronunciation features and problem (consonants or vowels)
4.0    Explanation of possible causes for the pronunciation problem. 

Note:
  • Completed work must submitted in print and CD. Recordings must also be submitted.

  • This is not a literature review, but if you do refer to the work of others, please acknowledge where appropriate.

  • Because this is not a project that can be completed over a day or two, please start early, and adhere to the deadlines set by your lecturer. This will also help you to organise your work, and consult your lecturer at the various stages.
