Unit 13 Teaching Pronunciation & Phonology
Pronunciation is probably the most neglected aspect of English language teaching. Most pronunciation, as a result, tends to concentrate on individual sounds, which although the most obvious, is not necessarily the most important part. An effective teacher considers the teaching of pronunciation an integral part of the course.
Phonology is the study, science, analysis, and classification of the physical properties of sounds
Intonation is generally considered to be the variation in volume and pitch in a whole sentence, whereas
stress is more concerned with individual words. Intonation carries the message in a sentence.
Then we learn patterns of intonation, stress, technics for indicating and teaching stress.
Phonemic alphabet is main thing to learn pronunciation. It includes phonemic symbol, which we considered further.
And about articulation - the speech organs, places of articulation, manners of articulation and teaching techniques for the pronunciation of individual sounds.
I think, this lesson is very important for learning language, because if you can read Phonemic alphabet, you will be able to learn ?orrect pronunciation of your teaching words.
