English Phonetics is a four semesters course for undergraduate students of English at the University of Biskra. In addition to defining the basic concepts in the field of Phonetics and explaining the anatomy and mechanisms of human speech, the course introduces students to the phonemic (i.e., vowels and consonants) as well as the prosodic aspects (i.e., stress, intonation, and rhythm) of English pronunciation. In this third term, the English Phonetics course focuses on word stress and its placement in different types of English words (i.e., simple words, complex words, compound words).
