In this unit we look at Phonology - the study of pronunciation - . At the beginning of this unit I discovered that applied Phonetics is rarely taught and that many native English teachers rarely teach pronunciation because they themselves " find it difficult to hear the rise and fall of speech so why bother teaching their students ?"....Perhaps this is because in the anglophone education system we do not study this subject or that we English teachers assume that for our students pronunciation should be obvious to them because they already speak one language (afterall anglophones have gotten used to the fact that the world at large speaks - or should speak English - so they are not required to make an effort...?). Further in this unit we learn that The International Phonemic Alphabet is a superb tool which enables English speakers from around the world to learn and understand eachother regardless of their accents. We then look at techniques on how teachers can teach pronunciation and what materials or methods they can use.
