1. SYLLABUS - HU, English Department
English Phonetics and Pronunciation. Syllabus
Fall Semester 2008

Good pronunciation is essential for effective communication. Without adequate pronunciation skills the learner's ability to communicate is severely limited, no matter how good his or her control of English grammar and vocabulary might be.

The goal of this class is realistic: not to get you that impossible 'perfect' (native-like) pronunciation but to help you develop functional intelligibility, communicability, increased self-confidence, and the ability to self-monitor and self-improve your speech. In plain words, this class should enable you to speak English that is easy to understand and it will also improve your listening comprehension ability.

To get the most out of this class, your full intellectual involvement and hard work are a must! On my part, I will not simply correct your mistakes, but rather be your 'speech coach' who supplies, models, offers suggestions and constructive feedback, sets high standards, provides a wide variety of practice opportunities, and overall supports and encourages you to speak the best English you possibly can. Since your class is big, peer correction and group interactions are essential.

Each weekly 3-hour session has a theoretical part which introduces topics related to the English phonetics and pronunciation, and a practical part in which you practice what you have learned.
TEXTBOOK: None! Relevant handouts will be provided and lectures posted on the blog.

RULES
1. Regular attendance is expected. You are allowed one absence per semester for emergency case. If you are sick, you need to call or send an email before the class and later provide a doctor’s note. If you are absent (A) more than 5 times you will fail this class. If you are late twice, this will count as one Absent. 2. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS FORMULA: *K+K= A; **C+C=Absentee!
*Use of Korean in class is NOT allowed. Each time you use Korean, you and your partner or group will get a “K” penalty; two “K’s” will get you one Absent (A).
**Use of cell phones is not allowed. Two “C”s will get you an Absent
Please, remember these two formulas: K+K = A and C + C = Absentee

INTRODUCTION

My name is Bianca. My hometown is Toronto, Canada. However, I have been living in Korea for six years and working at Hansung University for five years. My undergraduate majors were English, German and Education. I hold a Master's Degree in Comparative Literature. My favourite subject at school was literature. I am lucky to live on campus, so it takes me only two minutes on foot to get to work. On weekends I usually go hiking, and if I have free time on workdays, I like to read, surf the Internet, take care of my plants, or meet friends for movies or eating out. I love all kinds of movies but my favourite are human dramas about ordinary people who face difficult situations, like Million Dollar Baby. I travel a lot, and I have been to many places in Korea and many countries in the world, including North Korea. I enjoy ethnic food because it is fun to discover unusual flavours and ingredients. I can eat almost anything, but I don't like fried food, and I really hate liver. I think you will learn a lot in this class and I hope you will have fun in the process.

COMMON MISTAKES KOREANS MAKE IN ENGLISH

SOME COMMON MISTAKES KOREANS MAKE IN ENGLISH
I'm meeting my friends in my free time. // 2. I'm going swimming about twice a week. 3. I working on a ship. 4. I live in London for 3 years. 5. I've been to Paris last year. 6. I finished. 7. How long are you in Korea? 8.I'm bus driver. 9. This is a airplane. 9. I saw Great Wall of China. 10. I went to the top of Empire State Building.

Present Simple/Present Continuous Sentences 1, 2 and 3 represent one of the most common mistakes made by Koreans in English – confusing Present Simple with Present Continuous.
RULE: Use Present Simple for habitual actions and general truths; Present Continuous for actions going on at the moment of speaking or when you want to emphasize the continuity of an action. “I am studying at the library now.” “My house is too small, so my sister, who is visiting, is staying at a hotel, not with me.”
Present Perfect It is not easy to understand this tense! RULE: use to emphasize the experience of doing something, rather than the time you did it; use to express actions that started at some point in the past and are still continuing in the present; use to express actions that happened in the past but have an impact on the present.
Future: A: “What are you doing this weekend?” B: “ I will meet my girlfriend.” (will is like Korean “manaketsoyo, expresses strong will to do something; however, future can be expressed with ‘going to’ for a plan or present continuous for near future and something that is sure already.)

Articles - a, an, the a + consonant; an+vowel = indefinite article. Use with a non-specific object, one of a number of the same objects) with consonants: She has a dog./I work in a factory. NOTE: always with a verb “to be” in the following example: I am a teacher. / I am an English teacher./ This is a pencil.

the = definite article (a specific object that both the person speaking and the listener know)The car over there is fast. // The teacher is very good, isn't he?
The first time you speak of something use "a or an", the next time you repeat that object use "the". I live in a house. The house is quite old and has four bedrooms.I ate in a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was very good.
DO NOT use an article with the names of countries, states, counties or provinces, lakes and mountains except when the country is a collection of states such as "The United States" and the mountain is actually a mountain range (the Himalayas) .He lives in Washington near Mount Rainier. // They live in northern British Columbia.
Use an article with bodies of water, oceans and seas - My country borders on the Pacific Ocean; I am sailing on the South Sea. The Han is a wide river.
DO NOT use an article when you are speaking about things in general - and with countable nouns use PLURAL!!!! I like Russian tea and Korean kimchi. (non-countable) BUT She likes reading books. I like watching movies. I like taking photos (NOT a book, a movie, a photo)
DO NOT use an article when you are speaking about meals, places, and transport in general. He has breakfast at home.// I like meat.// I drink milk every day. //I go to university. She goes to church every Sunday. //He comes to work by taxi. // Bus is cheaper than taxi.

MORE EXAMPLES
ARTICLES: 1.Here is not university. 2.It's language school. // 3.English is important language in Korea. 4.I am university student. // 5.I teach Korean to foreign student. 6. // She comes from the Canada. 7. I have lived all of my life in the Seoul. 8. I like walking by Han.
TENSE: 1.Yesterday she complain that she had a headache. //2. Sorry, last week I am sick. No come to class. // 3. I study English for six years and not speak well. 4. Yes, I go to China (meaning at some indefinite time in the past). 5. Yes, I go to China last year.
PLURAL AND SINGULAR
1. I like reading a book in my spare times. // 2.Usually, dog is friendly, but cat is moody. 3.I have a lot of homeworks. 4. Hansung University has many staffs.
MISTAKES WITH THE COPPULA ‘BE’
1. I can’t study because it difficult. // 2. Korean and Japanese is different.3. My old textbook easy, but my new is difficult.
MIXING THE NAMES OF COUNTRIES and ADJECTIVES DERIVED FROM THEM
1. I want to travel in Swiss. 2. Korea cars are good and cheap. 3.I want to live in Korean forever. // 4. China, Vietnamese, Thai and India are Asian countries. (also, in this case often: …is Asian countires.). 5. Foreigner is different from Korean (2 mistakes here)

OTHER UNCLASSIFED MISTAKES:
1.I can swimming. // 2.I am so boring. // 3. Now I am talk with my friend. // 4. I always tired. // 5. I want to make a boyfriend/girlfriend. // 6. I played with my friends *or worse* I played with my girlfriend. // 7. I can’t meet you tonight. I already have a promise ( in English there are many words for “yagsok”: promise, appointment, meeting. - “Hey, Turalija, how are you?” (it’s the same as calling the President: Hey, Myngbak, what’s up, man?”)
- Derek Teacher is not in his office.
-“Nice to meet you” – saying this too often and at inappropriate times.
-SF // OST // Skinship
-“I am first grade high school/university student.
- When I was in a high school student (hahaha)
- Mistaking funny/fun.
The movie was funny (hahahaha); The movie was fun. (I liked it)
Confusing famous and popular. “Brian is a famous teacher at Hansung.”

USING WANNA AND GONNA IN WRITING
Just don’t do it!
Unfortunately, there are many many more, but making mistakes is a regular part of learning. Don’t despair!

COMMAS – 4 TYPES: introducers, coordinators, inserters, tags

Introducer commas come in front of the first independent clause:

Words: Therefore, I plan to quit smoking. / Nervously, I threw away my cigarette.
Phrases: As a result, I feel terrible now.// After 16 years of smoking, it’s not easy to quit.
Dependent Clauses: Because I have a cough, I need to stop smoking.
Direct quotations:: “I must stop smoking,” he said.
Coordinator Commas
Links coordinate (equal) elements in a sentence.
Compound Sentence with 2 indp. clauses: She has a good job, yet she is always broke.
They were tired, so they went to bed early.
Series of 3 or more words: He hates skiing, ice-skating, and sledding.
(no comma with only two items): He hates skiing and ice-skating.
Series of 3 or more phrases: A nurse has to work at night, on weekends, and on holidays.
We ran into the airport, checked our luggage, raced to the boarding gate, gave the attendant our boarding passes, and collapsed in our seats.

Inserter Commas -Inserted into the middle of an independent sentence

Words: My uncle, however, refuses to quit smoking.
Phrases: My father, on the other hand, has never smoked.
There’s no point in living, according to my mother, if you don’t do what you like.
Non-restrictive phrases and clauses: My aunt, his wife, died of lung cancer.
My cousins, who lost their mother to cancer, resolved never to smoke.
Reporting verbs in direct quotations: “I have tried to quit,” she says, “but I can’t.”

Tag Commas -Used when adding certain elements to the end of sentence:

Words: She believes that there is God, too.
Her husband doesn’t believe in God, however.
Phrases: He swims every day, for example.
He is a good tennis players, beating me all the time.
Tag Questions: It is not logical, is it?
Direct Quotations: He laughs as he says, “ I will live longer than you.”

Semicolons

Semicolon is more like a period than a comma, a very strong punctuation mark. They are used in three places:
1.Between two sentences that are closely connected in idea.
2.Before conjunctive adverbs and some transition phrases when they are followed by an independent clause.
3.Between items in the series when the items themselves contain commas.

1. Between two sentences with closely connected ideas

The meeting ended at dawn; nothing had been decided.
I didn’t accept the job offer; I want to go to graduate school.
The internet use is increasing; the internet crime is, too.

2. Before Connectors

Use a semicolon before a conjunctive adverbs such as however, therefore, nevertheless, moreover, and furthermore. Also, before transitional phrases such as for example, as a result, that is, in fact when they are followed by an independent clause.

Independent clause; conj. Adverb/trans. Phrase, independent clause.
Skiing is dangerous; however, millions of people ski.
I have never been to South America; in fact, I have never been abroad.

3. Between Items in a series

When the items in a series already contain commas, semicolons are used to separate the items.
Among all these cars, I like the Ferrari, with its quick acceleration and sporty look; the midsize Ford Taurus, with its comfortable seats and ease of handling; or the compact Geo, with its economical fuel consumption.

Colons

Draw attention to the words that come after the colon.
Before lists – use a colon to introduce a list.
Libraries have two kinds of periodicals: bound periodicals and current periodicals.
I need to buy the following groceries: eggs, milk, and coffee.

CAUTION – when not to use the colon?
After the verb to be:
To me the most important things in life are: health, love, and money. INCORRECT
The most important things in life are the following: health, love and money. O.K!!!
After a preposition:
I look forward to: swimming, walking on the beach, and good food.
Before Appositives (appositive: a word or group of words that renames another word)
He had one great love in his life: himself.
(There are also other uses, but we will not concentrate on them here)

Quotation Marks (“….”)

Three basic uses: to enclose direct quotations, to enclose unusual words, and to enclose titles of short works.
1. To enclose direct quotations
a) separate a quoted sentence from a reporting phrase with a comma:
The receptionist said, “The doctor is not here at the moment.”
“The doctor is not here at the moment,” the receptionist said.
b) Periods and commas go inside the second quotation mark of a pair:
“I thought he was responsible,” he said, “but he isn’t.”
c) colons and semicolons go outside quotation marks:
“Give me liberty, or give me death”: these are famous words.
d) exclamation marks (!) and question marks (?) go inside quotation marks:
“Is it 8 o’clock?” she asked.
2. Around unusual words or words with ironic meaning:
The promised “palace on the beach” was nothing more than a shack.
Around titles of short works, such as titles of articles, short stories, poems, and songs.
My favourite poem is “Wasteland” by T.S. Elliot.

ECW. Week Five. Mar.31-Apr. 4

These are pancakes European style, called crepes (French) or palanchinken (German, Hungarian). The youtube video shows how to make these.

These are pancakes North- American style. They are much thicker and fluffier.

Process Paragraph Sample:

Making Pancakes (youtube video link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PnCVZozHTG8)

{topic sentence} Making delicious pancakes is really easy. First you prepare everything you need to make the pancakes. Take out cooking equipment out of the cupboards: a bowl, blender, scale, measuring cup, frying pan, and spatula. Next, prepare ingredients: oil, 100g flour, 500ml milk, 4 eggs. For pancake filling you can use anything you like, such as: nutella, maple syrup, lemon and sugar, jam. Now you are ready to make pancakes: crack eggs into the bowl. Add milk and using the blender beat the eggs for about 1-2 minutes. After this is done, add the flour and gently mix on low. Heat some oil in the pan. When the oil is hot enought, pour 1/2 cup pancake batter into the pan. After one side turns golden, flip the pancake over. When the other side is cooked, transfer onto a plate. Spread filling you like on the pancake. Now, the pancake is ready for you to enjoy. {conclusion} Any time you like to eat something easy and delicious, you can make pancakes.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT WEEK:

Write a one page, double spaced process paragraph. I don't want you to write a recipe. Choose another " how to?" process to describe. Ensure that you have a proper topic and concluding sentences, as well as clearly written instructions witha lot of signal words.

ECW Week Four. March 24-28

Remember: HASTE MAKES WASTE!!! and 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch.'

I believe, by now you've become true experts on the Writing Process Steps, right? Since, that is the case, what follows is:

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT WEEK

Choose one of these topics - sports, music, food, studying English, travelling- and write a paragraph following all of the six steps of the writing process. YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME ALL THE STESP YOU DID IN THE WRITING PROCESS. In other words, I need to see you brainstorming sheet, your first draft and your second (final) draft.

The length? One full A4 page, double-spaced.
PRE-WRITING
STEP ONE: Choose a topic. When you choose which general topic you will write about, narrow down your topic. E.g. if you chose traveling, you may write about your favourite place to travel. E.g. I want to write about Indonesia. Choose a title: “ Indonesia - an Interesting Place to Visit.”
STEP TWO: Gather ideas (brain storming by freewriting, mapping, list)
-beautiful islands; many different people live there; met my boyfriend; my wallet was stolen; great sightseeing; people are very friendly; Indonesians are Malay; Bali is a great place; many temples; there are other ethnic group: Javanese, Balinese, Chinese; culture is very interesting; historical sights; religious groups sometimes fight so it’s a bit scary; Jakarta is great; I got drunk there; I want to travel to Australia one day; etc, etc.
STEP THREE: Organize. Decide which ideas are not important. (the ones that I boldfaced are not important: met my boyfriend , I got drunk there, I want to travel to Australia one day; religious groups sometimes fight so it’s a bit scary.

DRAFTING
STEP FOUR: Write your paragraph from start to finish.

REVIEWING AND REVISING (EDITING) – The checklist on page 44 is really helpful

STEP FIVE: Review structure and content. Read your paragraph. Can you add more information somewhere? Do you have any unnecessary information?
REWRITING

STEP SIX: Revise structure and content. Rewrite your text, making improvement to structure and content, perhaps explaining more clearly, or adding more details; maybe changing your organization to make your paper more logical.
Proofread: Read again and check for your spelling, grammar, word choice.
Make final corrections: make sure that all errors are corrected. Now you are finished!
FINAL PARAGRAPH ( It's on your handout).

PASSIVE VOICE (grammar page 126)

( the below is what I wrote on the board in class to explain the Passive Voice)

PASSIVE VOICE
SIMPLE PRESENT PASSIVE
Subject + am/is/are + past participle
Good shoes are made in Italy.
Yes/No Q’s: Are good shoes made in Italy?
Yes, good shoes are made in Italy OR short: Yes, they are.
No, good shoes are not made in Italy. OR short: No, they are not (they aren’t)
Wh- Q: Where are good shoes made?

SIMPLE PAST PASSIVE
Subject + was/were + past participle
Turtle ships {geobukseon} were designed by General Yi,Sun-sin in the Chosun Dynasty.
Yes/No: Were turtle ships designed by Yi, sun-sin?
Yes, they were.
No, they were not (weren’t) designed by YI, sun-sin?
When were turtle ships designed?
Who were turtle ships designed by?

a) The object of an active sentence becomes the subject of a passive sentence.

Rabbits eat carrots. (active, present)
S V O
Carrots are eaten by rabbits. (passive, present).
O V (agent)
Where do they produce most of the world’s gold?
S V O
Where is most of the world’s gold produced?
V S V
Is most of the world’s gold produced in South Africa?

b) The verb must agree with the passive object and it has to be in the same tense as active.
Rabbits eat carrots (active, present)

Carrots is eaten by rabbits (passive, present. WRONG!!! : not ‘is’ but ‘are’)

Another example.
The police caught the thief. (past, active)
The thief was caught [by the police]. (past, passive.)

c) Intransitive verbs (the ones that don’t have an object) cannot have passive.
e.g. cry, sleep, come, die, go, happen, rain, etc.

It is rained (Wrong!)
She is cried (Wrong!)
He is come. (wrong)

When do we use Passive?

1. When the subject is less important than what is being done;

They make excellent cars in Germany. (Who – we don’t care, not important)
Better: Excellent cars are made in Germany.
They sell Brazilian coffee all over the world. (Who – not important)
Brazilian coffee is sold all over the world.

2. when we don’t know who did the action.

Someone broke the window last night. (active)
The window was broken last night. (passive)

3. When we are not interested who does the action

They make boxes out of wood. (active)
Boxes are made out of wood. (passive)

4. The passive is usually more impersonal and used in announcement, signs, rules, etc.
Smoking is not permitted here.
Speaking in Korean in class is not allowed.

More example:
They make yummy chocolate in Belgium.

Yummy chocolate is made in Belgium

Do they sell Mexican avocados in Korea?

Are Mexican avocados sold in Korea?
