I learned that speakers of English are rarely taught phonetics in schools and so teachers lack the confidence and skill to teach pronunciation effectively. I believe that native English speakers should be taught phonetics in school as learning this concept would be very beneficial for the teachers and students alike. Phonology is concerned with the systematic organization of sounds and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)...  [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 difference between stress and intonation was made clear in the beginning. I then learned about both the MANNER and the PLACE of articulation (i.e. the place of e.g. the tongue, or whether air is released or not when making a sound). The sheets provided a copy of the IPA chart, and I was thus able to \"translate\" sentences written in the phonetic script into \"normal\" words....  [Read more]

Basically the teacher as an example of a foreign speech and basic knowledge of IPA is enough. No doubt very few native speakers can determine which sounds are fricative which are affricate and so on. Nor can they tell where exactly the sound starts in your mouth or in your throat. All this stuff just makes topic unnecessary complicated. Reading texts, and listening songs or watching videos in english is much more...  [Read more]
