Upon completion, students are expected to be able to:

• Describe the characteristics of sound
• Analyze methods of measurement used in speech therapy in respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation used in speech therapy
• Describe the characteristics of speech through the acoustic analysis
• Evaluate speech through acoustic analysis
• Analyze speech through acoustic analysis

• Adaptation to new situations
• Application of knowledge in practice
• Critical data analysis
• Decision making
• Demonstration of social, professional and ethical responsibility
• Efficient search, analysis, and synthesis of data and information using the essential technologies
• Exercise criticism and self-criticism
• Group or independent Assignment
• Promotion of free, creative and inductive thinking

Short Course Description: This course aims to familiarize the students with the physiology of respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation and with the methods of analysis of hearing, speech, and language.

The course is developed in 13 lessons.

• The physical characteristics of sound
• The transmission of the speech signal
• Methods of analysis of the physiology of respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation systems
• articulation
• Static lung volumes, capacities and their measurement
• Voice measurement, electroglottography
• Radiography, videofluoroscopy, electromyography
• Measurement of resonance
• Measurement of articulation
• Electropalatography
• The physiology of the auditory system
• Acoustic analysis I (theory)
• Acoustic analysis II (basic concepts and exercises)
• Review

Final exam (100% of the total grade) at the end of the semester, which includes essay questions, short-answer questions, and/or closed-type questions (e.g. multiple choice).
