Unit 13 is based on how to teach pronunciation and phonology.Under phonology, it discusses intonation (Falling intonation used when the speaker is done talking, rise/fall intonantion indicating surprise, disagreement or meaning that the speaker needs an answer and the flat intonation meaning the speaker has less to say). The unit goes ahead to mention techniques used for indicating or teaching intonation. In this unit, we also see "stress" as a sub topic. The rules for "stress" are mentioned and the techniques for teaching "stress". This unit also presence the phonemic alphabet and how they are used to articulate words. The unit concludes by presenting the techniques for teaching pronunciation and when to teach pronunciation.
This unit has taught me so many things especially in the English sound system.
Firstly, i have learnt the meaning of different intonations. For example; falling intonation means end of talking, rise/fall intonation portrays suprise and means the need of a reply or confirmation and lastly, the flat intonation means less to say. I have also achieved a lot on stress especially the rules for word stress. The manner and place of articulation has really enlightened me on English speech and word formation.
