Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have a complete understanding. Analyse any communicative situation (real or depicted) in reference to the theoretical and methodological frameworks within various scientific approaches to language.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge and methodological approaches to understand and explain the normal/atypical/pathological functioning of individuals, groups or organisations, using any form of language.
• Analyse and model a communicative situation (individually or collectively) by critically selecting isolated theories and suitable methodological approaches.
• Critically analyse the extent and limitations of different types of intervention in a situation of linguistic nature.
• Communicate effectively. Communicate and exchange information in a structured and adapted way to the intended purpose and relevant public.
• Write a well-justified report about an intervention in a situation of linguistic nature.
• Appropriately use presentation materials.
• Adopt a scientific approach. Master the scientific approaches in language sciences.
• Master the different steps to carry out research in language sciences.
• Appropriately apply different scientific research methods.
• Construct a reference framework, formulate questions or hypotheses from the analysis of scientific literature.
• Collect data and thoroughly analyse it qualitatively and quantitatively.
• Develop communication skills specific to the field of research (publication, proficiency in English or another language depending on the specific field of research).
• Present research results, orally and in writing, in their native language and in English or another language depending on the specific field of research.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the instruction, the students will master the fundamental notions in clinical phonetics, i.e. (i) in general phonetics, the anatomical, articulatory, acoustic and aerodynamic aspects of the various sub-systems involved in speech production (respiratory, phonatory and articulatory sub-systems), as well as the acoustic, auditory and perceptual aspects of the subsystems involved in speech production (mainly, the auditory system and the nervous system); (ii) the clinical parameters allowing to document and assess speech production and speech perception, with a particular focus on the data collection and analysis procedures that are commonly used in speech disorders; (iii) the speech disorders associated with each of the subsystems resulting from a variety of etiologies (functional description, nature of the disorders, etc.). They will be able to apply these notions to the analysis of an actual clinical case.

Content of UE

Subsystems involved in speech production and speech perception (notions of general phonetics, methodological reminders, clinical paramaters for diagnosis and assessment of disordered speech, associated speech disorders, clinical cases: Respiratory system, phonatory system, articulatory system, auditory system and perceptual system. Applications to actual clinical cases.
