Course contents and teaching method
The Phonetics B1-B2 I objective level course offered online (via the MS Teams platform) enables learners to work on the phonetics points corresponding to the content of the phonological system for levels B1-B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The course has been designed for the study of phonetics in its entirety: articulation, the relationship between sound and writing and prosody.

The course presents an approach to discovering phonetics through reception, observation and reflection. It also provides a summary of the phonetic point covered and exercises of progressive difficulty.

To validate the course, you must attend at least 80% of the sessions and pass the examination offered at the end of the semester.
