Teaching pronunciation and phonology involves a lot more than I originally thought. I did not think that intonation and stress are also important components to teach, but they do help students understand and communicate better. Intonation refers to the volume and pitch in a whole sentence, whereas stress refers to the strong part of a sentence or the word that bears the principal emphasis in the sentence. Intonation has three basic patterns: rise/fall intonation, fall/rise intonation and level intonation. Stress is less consistent and may vary depending upon the meaning the speaker is trying to convey. There are various ways to teach each of these aspects. The International Phonetic Alphabet is a standardised system of symbols that is used to represent the sounds, or phonemes, of words. This does not HAVE TO be taught to learners, but it is beneficial to have a running knowledge of the symbols to aid pronunciation, especially when using the dictionary.
