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.
• 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.
• Speech Sciences : adopt a specialist approach. Master the concepts, techniques, methods, and devices specific to speech sciences so that they can be used in research practice.
• Master basic speech signal analysis techniques.
• Master research methodologies in speech sciences.
• Master the basic concepts of phonetics.

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.)
