Phonetic transcription is a skill used by speech-language pathologists to record and analyze the speech production abilities of their clients. It is used when gathering speech samples of individual clients over time, to evaluate whether they demonstrate a speech articulation disorder or a dialectal difference, and to monitor progress of clients in intervention. In this course, students will learn to transcribe speech samples using the international phonetic alphabet (IPA), and will apply this skill to evaluation of speech articulation.

This course reviews anatomical structures of the head, neck and ear; and the physiology of speech production, hearing and swallowing. This course is designed for students who are preparing for a career in speech-language pathology or audiology.
