11002108

This course aims to give students opportunities to review and improve the accuracy of their listening comprehension of news spoken in British English. The lessons will involve both analysis of problems in listening activities and practice of listening to authentic queen's English.  The course will present students with strategies for coping with the problems in listening comprehension of British English compared with American Engish, and those problems will be studied particularly from the viewpoint of a native speaker of Japanese whose mother tongue belongs to an agglutinative family of languages and is very different from English in its pronunciation. You know English is a rhythmical language and the contrast betweem stronger stress and weaker stress is very great. Each of my other English Proficiency III courses will deal with different materials and full of varieties, so you can select more than one course, if you like, during the same semester or in each of both semesters.
