About the course
The course provides an introduction to Swedish phonetics and phonology (the study of the sounds of language) from a comparative and didactic point of view. The aim is to identify the qualities that pose a challenge to second language learners, including sounds that are difficult to pronounce and the overall rhythm and sing-songy melody of the Swedish language. The course will provide tools for teaching Swedish to non-native speakers.
The course is a distance course and is carried out in a learning platform. Access to internet connected computer and headset is necessary. The course is based on self-study and communication in the web-based teaching environment and is aimed at those who feel comfortable with digital teaching formats. Learning, knowledge control and supervision takes place via the internet and online meetings are scheduled for the evening. You work both individually and in groups. Keep in mind that a distance learning course requires just as much work as a regular campus course. You are expected to have the ability to plan and manage your own study time.
