Unit 13’s content centred around pronunciation and phonology and introduced elements of English speaking such as intonation, stress and sound joining.
I learned more about how intonation changes the meaning of a word or sentence, how stress falls on certain syllables depending on the length and type of word and about articulation.
I learned the different speech organs, places of articulation and the manner of articulation. I also learned how to read phonetic script quicker and transcribe a sentence into normal English writing. I feel that my understanding of the phonemic alphabet has increased after studying this Unit.
The most useful thing I feel that I have learned from this lesson are the techniques and methods of teaching these difficult topics, as one thing I have noticed from second language learners of English is their difficulty to understand why native speakers intonate, stress and speak in certain ways.
