Hands-on Approach to Phonetics

Building on the movement to integrate research and clinical practice, SLHS began offering a new phonetics course in fall 2016. A revised and expanded version of Introduction to Phonetics, the course includes a lab portion for students to apply concepts taught in class to hands-on, multimedia listening and learning lab exercises. Students use the latest technology for measuring and viewing human speech production while working in small collaborative groups in Sargent’s renovated computer classroom. The course is co-taught by Assistant Professor Tyler Perrachione, a Peter Paul Career Development Professor and director of the Communication Neuroscience Research Laboratory, and Barbara Oppenheimer, a clinical associate professor, and master clinician, in speech-language pathology.
