EKIP101 Phonetics and Pronunciation, Group 1 (2 op)

Donald Adamson (donaldadamson(at)gmail.com)

Current events: Target group: First-year students.
Contents: Aim and content: The course concentrates on students' problems at the segmental level, where the contrast between the phonetics, and the phonological systems of Finnish and English gives rise to serious problems for many students. The aim is first to ensure that everyone can 'achieve' the target sounds (that is to say, that they can produce them accurately in isolation, or in single words of one syllable) and then to extend this ability into progressively more complex phonetic environments. Instruction is by means of traditional drills, but students are provided with a thorough grounding in the theoretical differences between the phonological systems and the phonetics of the two languages.
Modes of study: Mode of study: Exercises in a language laboratory. One term.
Completion mode: Assessment: End-of-course examination, in which students are required to read a short text; the readings are recorded and later assessed for pronunciation quality.
Literature: Required source material: M. Peacock, English Pronunciation. It is obtainable from Yliopistopaino and each student is required to have a copy and to bring it to every class

EKIP302 Tuutorointi ja HOPS, Ryhmä 1 (1 op)

Paula Kalaja (paula.m.kalaja(at)gmail.com)

Current events: Kohderyhmä: Kaikki 1. vuoden englannin kielen pääaineopiskelijat. Pääaineopiskelijat tekevät HOPSin tuutoroinnin aikana.
Contents: Tavoite ja sisältö: Opettajatuutoroinnin tavoitteena on auttaa opiskelijoita omaksumaan akateemisen opiskelun taitoja, tutustumaan yliopiston ja oman oppiaineensa käytänteisiin sekä suunnittelemaan opintojaan ja tutkintonsa rakennetta. Ryhmässä voidaan keskustella opintoihin, urasuunnitelmiin ja uuteen elämänvaiheeseen liittyvistä asioista muiden opiskelijoiden ja opettajan kanssa. Ryhmään voidaan kutsua myös asiantuntijavieraita. HOPS on opiskelijan henkilökohtainen opintosuunnitelma, joka auttaa opintojen suunnittelussa ja hallinnassa sekä ohjaa hyviin oppimistuloksiin omien tavoitteiden mukaisesti. Se on itsetuntemuksen ja itsensä kehittämisen apuväline. HOPS suuntaa tulevaisuuteen, jopa työelämään asti. HOPS on kuitenkin joustava: vahvuudet ja varsinkin tavoitteet voivat muuttua.
Schedule: Ajoitus ja muoto: Opettajatuutorointi on tarkoitettu kaikille pääaineopiskelijoille. Tuutorointia varten opiskelijat jakaantuvat ryhmiin, jotka tapaavat noin kerran kuussa ensimmäisen lukuvuoden aikana. Ryhmätapaamisten lisäksi opiskelija voi halutessaan tavata oman opettajatuutorinsa kahden kesken, jolloin voidaan yksityiskohtaisemmin keskustella opiskelijan opintoihin liittyvistä kysymyksistä. Ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden jälkeen tuutoriryhmät tapaavat esim. kerran lukukaudessa tai -vuodessa. Englannin 1. vuoden opiskelijoiden tuutoriryhmät kokoontuvat syyslukukaudella 2006 viikoilla 40, 44 ja 48, kevätlukukaudella 2007 viikoilla 6, 11 ja 17. Opiskelija tekee alustavan HOPSinsa mahdollisimman varhain ensimmäisenä opiskeluvuonna. Opinto-ohjaaja antaa neuvoja ja tukea HOPSin laadintaan, tai opinto-suunnitelma voidaan tehdä osana opettajatuutorointia. Suunnitelma säilytetään, sitä täydennetään jo ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden keväällä ja sitä päivitetään opinto-ohjaajan tuella koko opintojen ajan (Korpin eHOPSina).

Ryhmätapaamisten lisäksi opiskelija voi halutessaan tavata oman opettajatuutorinsa kahden kesken, jolloin voidaan yksityiskohtaisemmin keskustella opiskelijan opintoihin liittyvistä kysymyksistä. Ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden jälkeen tuutoriryhmät tapaavat esim. kerran lukukaudessa tai -vuodessa. Englannin 1. vuoden opiskelijoiden tuutoriryhmät kokoontuvat syyslukukaudella 2006 viikoilla 40, 44 ja 48, kevätlukukaudella 2007 viikoilla 6, 11 ja 17. Opiskelija tekee alustavan HOPSinsa mahdollisimman varhain ensimmäisenä opiskeluvuonna. Opinto-ohjaaja antaa neuvoja ja tukea HOPSin laadintaan, tai opinto-suunnitelma voidaan tehdä osana opettajatuutorointia. Suunnitelma säilytetään, sitä täydennetään jo ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden keväällä ja sitä päivitetään opinto-ohjaajan tuella koko opintojen ajan (Korpin eHOPSina).

EKIP302 Tuutorointi ja HOPS, Ryhmä 4, IN ENGLISH (1 op)

Eleanor Underwood (underwood(at)wippies.com)

Current events: Kohderyhmä: Kaikki 1. vuoden englannin kielen pääaineopiskelijat. Pääaineopiskelijat tekevät HOPSin tuutoroinnin aikana.
Contents: Tavoite ja sisältö: Opettajatuutoroinnin tavoitteena on auttaa opiskelijoita omaksumaan akateemisen opiskelun taitoja, tutustumaan yliopiston ja oman oppiaineensa käytänteisiin sekä suunnittelemaan opintojaan ja tutkintonsa rakennetta. Ryhmässä voidaan keskustella opintoihin, urasuunnitelmiin ja uuteen elämänvaiheeseen liittyvistä asioista muiden opiskelijoiden ja opettajan kanssa. Ryhmään voidaan kutsua myös asiantuntijavieraita. HOPS on opiskelijan henkilökohtainen opintosuunnitelma, joka auttaa opintojen suunnittelussa ja hallinnassa sekä ohjaa hyviin oppimistuloksiin omien tavoitteiden mukaisesti. Se on itsetuntemuksen ja itsensä kehittämisen apuväline. HOPS suuntaa tulevaisuuteen, jopa työelämään asti. HOPS on kuitenkin joustava: vahvuudet ja varsinkin tavoitteet voivat muuttua.

EKIS201 Grammar in Discourse (5 op)

Arja Piirainen-Marsh (arja.piirainen-marsh(at)jyu.fi)

[Kurssille ei ilmoittauduta Korppi-järjestelmän avulla.]

Current events: Target group: Advanced students. The course is suitable for both future teachers and other English specialists.
Contents: Aim and content: This course is intended for students who are already familiar with structures of English and basic grammatical tools for describing it. The course will deepen your understanding of grammar through examining how linguistic forms and structures are used to express meanings in discourse. The starting point for grammatical analysis is a view of language as discourse, in other meaningful social activity that is shaped by the context in which it occurs. We will analyse and describe the use of English in different discourse types, ranging from literary, academic and media texts to spoken interaction. Tools for analysis are drawn from functional grammar, discourse-functional linguistics and interactional linguistics. A central goal is to learn more about the concepts and methods that are needed for analysing discourse phenomena in natural language use. We will work towards this goal through readings, hands-on analysis tasks and group discussions.
Prerequisites: Prerequisites: Exploring grammar 1, Exploring grammar 2 (or Form, meaning and function in language)
Selection procedure: The course enrollments must be made through the Reg4EKI course. See www pages.
Modes of study: Mode of study: Data analysis tasks carried out individually and pairs, homework assignments.
Completion mode: Assessment: Three written assignments. Regular attendance and participation in class discussion will be a prerequisite for passing the course.

EKIS205 Philosophy of Language (5 op)

Michael Peacock

[Kurssille ei ilmoittauduta Korppi-järjestelmän avulla.]

Current events: To register for this course go to: https://korppi.jyu.fi/kotka/r.jsp?course=20244 (Reg4EKI, Registering for English courses).
Contents: Aim and content: The course begins by examining the logical functions of words, and then moves on to discuss statements. It is shown that the logical status of these reflects the purposes of their authors, and cannot always be ascertained from the linguistic code in which they are expressed. Then we examine the way in which the use of language in everyday life typically involves an interaction between linguistic code, the situational context, and principles of conversation of the kind proposed by Grice, to produce meaning at the level of discourse. Particular attention is given to the interplay of these three factors in 'hedged performatives'; that is to say, statements containing performative verbs which are 'hedged' by modals.
Modes of study: Mode of study: A weekly lecture, supported by handouts and some take-home exercises.
Completion mode: Assessment: End-of-course written examination.

EKIS207 Investigating Regional Varieties of English (5 op)

Päivi Pahta

[Kurssille ei ilmoittauduta Korppi-järjestelmän avulla.]

Current events: Target group: Advanced level students.
Contents: Aim and content: This course provides an opportunity to explore the linguistic nature of regional varieties of English in detail on different levels of language. The course is useful for all language specialists, including prospective teachers, who in their future work will need some familiarity with a wide range of Englishes spoken around the world. We will operate on the notion of regional variation, investigating actual linguistic similarities and differences in form and usage between major varieties like British, American or Australian English, indiginized colonial varieties like Indian or African Englishes, or more recent additions to the English-language family like Chinese Englishes or Euro-English. More local varieties traditionally known as dialects also receive attention, as do various language contact phenomena contributing to the special characteristics of regional varieties.

EKIP101 Phonetics and Pronunciation, Group 6 (2 op)

Donald Adamson (donaldadamson(at)gmail.com)

Current events: Target group: First-year students.
Contents: Aim and content: The course concentrates on students' problems at the segmental level, where the contrast between the phonetics, and the phonological systems of Finnish and English gives rise to serious problems for many students. The aim is first to ensure that everyone can 'achieve' the target sounds (that is to say, that they can produce them accurately in isolation, or in single words of one syllable) and then to extend this ability into progressively more complex phonetic environments. Instruction is by means of traditional drills, but students are provided with a thorough grounding in the theoretical differences between the phonological systems and the phonetics of the two languages.
Modes of study: Mode of study: Exercises in a language laboratory. One term.
Completion mode: Assessment: End-of-course examination, in which students are required to read a short text; the readings are recorded and later assessed for pronunciation quality.
Literature: Required source material: M. Peacock, English Pronunciation. It is obtainable from Yliopistopaino and each student is required to have a copy and to bring it to every class

Contents: Tavoite ja sisältö: Opettajatuutoroinnin tavoitteena on auttaa opiskelijoita omaksumaan akateemisen opiskelun taitoja, tutustumaan yliopiston ja oman oppiaineensa käytänteisiin sekä suunnittelemaan opintojaan ja tutkintonsa rakennetta. Ryhmässä voidaan keskustella opintoihin, urasuunnitelmiin ja uuteen elämänvaiheeseen liittyvistä asioista muiden opiskelijoiden ja opettajan kanssa. Ryhmään voidaan kutsua myös asiantuntijavieraita. HOPS on opiskelijan henkilökohtainen opintosuunnitelma, joka auttaa opintojen suunnittelussa ja hallinnassa sekä ohjaa hyviin oppimistuloksiin omien tavoitteiden mukaisesti. Se on itsetuntemuksen ja itsensä kehittämisen apuväline. HOPS suuntaa tulevaisuuteen, jopa työelämään asti. HOPS on kuitenkin joustava: vahvuudet ja varsinkin tavoitteet voivat muuttua.
Schedule: Ajoitus ja muoto: Opettajatuutorointi on tarkoitettu kaikille pääaineopiskelijoille. Tuutorointia varten opiskelijat jakaantuvat ryhmiin, jotka tapaavat noin kerran kuussa ensimmäisen lukuvuoden aikana. Ryhmätapaamisten lisäksi opiskelija voi halutessaan tavata oman opettajatuutorinsa kahden kesken, jolloin voidaan yksityiskohtaisemmin keskustella opiskelijan opintoihin liittyvistä kysymyksistä. Ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden jälkeen tuutoriryhmät tapaavat esim. kerran lukukaudessa tai -vuodessa. Englannin 1. vuoden opiskelijoiden tuutoriryhmät kokoontuvat syyslukukaudella 2006 viikoilla 40, 44 ja 48, kevätlukukaudella 2007 viikoilla 6, 11 ja 17. Opiskelija tekee alustavan HOPSinsa mahdollisimman varhain ensimmäisenä opiskeluvuonna. Opinto-ohjaaja antaa neuvoja ja tukea HOPSin laadintaan, tai opinto-suunnitelma voidaan tehdä osana opettajatuutorointia. Suunnitelma säilytetään, sitä täydennetään jo ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden keväällä ja sitä päivitetään opinto-ohjaajan tuella koko opintojen ajan (Korpin eHOPSina).

Current events: This seminar is primarily for those who wish to do research on aspects of Second/Foreign Language Learning or Teaching, or other linguistic topics (e.g. sociolinguistics, discourse analysis). Also welcome to this group are those students who are considering designing theoretically driven sets of teaching materials for specific groups of learners of English as a Second/Foreign Language (instead of a theoretical review, or an empirical study of a body of data). This is a feasible alternative for future EFL teachers. The idea is to get each student to finish (at least) a few chapters of the Pro Gradu thesis before leaving the seminar - with guidance/support/feedback provided in the process not only by the instructor but also by the other students attending the seminar. However, before proceeding so far students are first expected to get familiar with library facilities/searches, aspects of doing research (e.g. frameworks, data collection/analysis methods) or designing teaching materials (e.g. needs, syllabi, teaching methods) and the format(s) of a Pro Gradu thesis (overall organization, style, etc.) and to write a feasible (research) proposal (with narrowed-down research questions/ problems) and preferably conduct a pilot study or test a small sub-set of the material designed for its suitability for the target group of learners.
