UCL Summer Course in English Phonetics (SCEP) 2025

Host Institution: University College London
Website:
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-sciences/pals/study/continuing-professional-development-cpd/summer-course-english-phonetics

Dates: 11-Aug-2025 - 22-Aug-2025
Location: Week 1 online, Week 2 London, United Kingdom

Minimum Education Level: From beginners to specialists

Focus: Our course covers all the main aspects of English phonetics:
    phonemic system (vowels and consonants)
    segmental analysis (allophonic processes)
    connected speech processes
    sentence stress (tonicity, accentuation)
    intonation (nuclear tones and prenuclear patterns)
The main reference accent is Standard Southern British, but other
varieties are discussed.
The course emphasizes practical speaking and listening skills. You get
plenty of practice in pronunciation performance and in auditory
discrimination in special ear-training sessions.
Description:
UCL's famous Summer Course in English Phonetics was founded over a
century ago by the great Daniel Jones. We now give you an opportunity
to study English phonetics BOTH virtually AND in-person at UCL. The
first week is online and may be taken alone; the optional second week
is live at Unversity College London. The main emphasis of SCEP has
always been on practical work.
Online Module 11-15 August
The Online Module, also known as VSCEP (virtual SCEP), is offered as a
self-contained introductory course. No previous knowledge of English
Phonetics is required, though more advanced applicants looking for a
refresher course are welcome. This module can be taken from anywhere
in the world, and will run each day between 11:15 BST (UTC+1) and
15:15 or 16:15 BST depending on your time zone (exact details TBC).
In-Person Module 18-22 August
This is an optional second week, live at University College London,
and builds on the Online Module. We strongly advise that applicants
for this In-Person Module should either have taken the Online Module
in the previous week, or have already taken SCEP or VSCEP in a
previous year. This module will run each day between 9:00 BST (UTC+1)
and 16:00 BST (exact timetable TBC).
