The course will be both conceptual and practical. The practical component will involve the students using the concepts learned in class to improve their own pronunciation of Spanish. Students will acquire skills in recognizing, producing, and describing in linguistic terms the sounds of Spanish and in understanding and analyzing the Spanish sound system. The conceptual component will involve understanding the relationship between sounds in the Spanish phonological system and studying other factors (linguistic, social, etc.) that influence this system.
