Unit 13 highlights the importance of teaching pronunciation and phonology. My own English learning experiences prove that they are indeed neglected areas in English teaching.
Pronunciation, intonation and stress should be integrated part of the lessons to make sure students learn to speak accurately and communicate clearly.
Intonation is important to express agreement or disagreement and elemental to express feelings.
Stress helps us to express which part of the sentence we would like to emphasize. By stressing the words of the same sentence in different ways we can get different meanings of the sentence.
A useful tool in English learning can be the International Phonetic Alphabet, because if students learn this alphabet they will be able to pronounce correctly every word they look up in the dictionary.
