A Systematic Analysis of Undergraduate EFL Courses in Phonetics and Phonology Offered by Leading Research-Intensive Universities in Norway
The article introduces and discusses a systematic analysis of undergraduate courses in phonetics and
phonology in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) offered by the leading research-intensive
universities in Norway, namely The University of Oslo (UiO) and The University of Bergen (UiB). The
systematic analysis's specific research aim consists of identifying, classifying, and systematising the role
of phonetics and phonology in undergraduate EFL curriculum designs and uncovering the similarities
and differences between UiO and UiB. A corpus of course descriptions of undergraduate EFL modules
in phonetics and phonology was collected and analysed. The results revealed that the undergraduate
EFL courses in phonetics and phonology at UiO and UiB prioritised aspects of applied phonetics. In
addition, they manifested connections to other undergraduate EFL courses, particularly courses in global
Englishes, the structure of English, and Old English. The findings and their implications are discussed
in the article.
