This unit is devoted to the analysis of pronunciation and an integral part of this study – a sound system ‘phonology’ with detailed look at stress, rhythm and intonation. There are other aspects examined in the unit: phonemic alphabet with phonemic symbols, place and manner of articulation, with a closer look at what parts of speech organs are involved in producing different sounds and what terms are used to define their classifications of articulation. Each section ends with teaching techniques for intonation, stress, pronunciation of sounds.
The sound system is a complicated area of teaching English, but is a certainly interesting exploration! I was glad to discover how many sounds are formed, what place and manner of articulation they belong to and how to identify certain sounds of speech. Intonation teaching is particularly interesting and contains useful explanation, which we can use while teaching this aspect of pronunciation.
I consider teaching pronunciation and helping the students understand how we produce sounds in English language to be a very important knowledge that will further equip them with skills and practices required for correct speaking.
