English Phonology and Pronunciation Teaching

About this book

This book aims to provide a clear description of key aspects of English phonology in order to help teachers diagnose and prioritize problem areas in pronunciation. It also aims to develop an awareness of current issues and relevant research in the field to inform teachers decisions, not only about what to teach, but how to teach pronunciation, particularly in EIL contexts. Specifically, it aims to enable readers to: * Understand key terms and concepts in phonology and phonetics
* Become aware of current issues and debates in research and apply these to pronunciation teaching, particularly in EIL contexts
* Conduct phonological analysis of learner language, including phonemic transcription
* Diagnose and assess learner's pronunciation difficulties and needs
* Plan a structured pronunciation syllabus The book assumes no prior knowledge and is a key resource for both newcomers and experienced practitioners in the fields of English Language Teaching as well as students of applied linguistics.

The

The 
third 
part 
of 
the 
speech 
mechanism, 
above 
the 
larynx 
(i.e. 
supralaryngeal
), 
is 
known 
as 
the 
vocal 
tract 
and 
the 
organs 
within 
it 
are 
the
articulatory 
organs
or 
articulators. 
The 
articulators
are 
the 
different 
parts 
of 
the 
vocal 
tract 
that 
can

of

either

There 
are 
three 
sections 
or

in 
the 
vocal 
tract 
(Figure

one 
for

(the

), 
one 
for 
the 
mouth 
(the 
oral 
cavity
and 
one 
for 
the 
nose 
(the 
nasal 
cavity
).
The 
size 
and 
shape 
of 
these 
cavities 
can 
be 
altered 
by 
movements 
of
