Host Institution: UCL
Website:
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-sciences/pals/study/continuing-professional-development-cpd/summer-course-english-phonetics-2026

Dates: 10-Aug-2026 - 21-Aug-2026
Location: Online/ London, United Kingdom

Minimum Education Level: NA

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)
 
These topics are investigated both in lectures and in practical
classes. Practical groups are kept small and are organised according
to your prior knowledge of English and your English proficiency. The
course covers both speaking and listening skills. You get plenty of
practice in pronunciation performance and in auditory discrimination
in special ear-training sessions.
Description:
Whether you’re a teacher, a student or a fan of English, whatever your
first language (including English), here is an opportunity to study
English phonetics virtually and in-person at University College
London!
ONLINE MODULE: 10-14 AUGUST 2026
IN-PERSON MODULE: 17-21 AUGUST 2026
Book your place until 2 August 2026
You can brush up your knowledge of the theoretical side of phonetics
and bring yourself up-to-date on new developments. You may want to do
ear-training and listening practice. Or you may just want to improve
your own English pronunciation. It’s all available in UCL’s famous
Summer Course in English Phonetics, founded over a century ago by the
great Daniel Jones.
