Knowing the IPA, over-emphasizing how to use my mouth to make certain sounds, practicing difficult or similar sounds with tongue twisters, these are all things I've done to help students with pronunciation. I never thought about intonation or stress, however. Even after studying it, it's difficult to hear it in myself without repetition, or even using the rules taught in this unit! As a native speaker, there's...  [Read more]

Phonetics and TESOL Phonetics, the study of the sounds of human speech, and in particular “Articulatory Phonetics”, are not commonly taught to native speakers of English, let alone learners of English as a second language. However if the learner is serious with their English and wish to progress to an advanced level, learning phonetics, in particular the International Phonetic Alphabet, would be of immense benefit. English spelling is often contradictory, devoid of relation to the pronunciation of a word, and lacking in clear patterns. Patterns that do exist are numerous, with a large number of exceptions, and all of this makes it very difficult for the learner of English as a second language to master pronunciation. The International Phonetic Alphabet puts all of the individual...  [Read more]

The part on intonation and stress was particularly interesting, as this is something I am often asked about, and native English speakers do not usually think about, so explaining it can be difficult. The next part explained the phonetic alphabet, something I would like to see used more in the ESL classroom. The...  [Read more]

It is indeed going on phonology and pronunciation, but also working greatly with how we intonate and pronounce our words. I like that it talked about IPA, the mouth placement, and also how we articulate our words. I have a minor in linguistics, and all of this stuff is very important to understand how to properly pronounce and articulate our words.

My major in college was anthropology and so I of course had to take linguistic courses, but I didn't go far into that subject. Like I already knew it is a difficult subject and it's hard for me to remember the IPA (so taking a test was difficult). At the same time though reading through the phonetic script is always fun for me even though it's difficult. It's easier to read it aloud. So this unit was a great review for me and brought back to mind...  [Read more]
