Phonemic awareness is important for reading and spelling. There are 44 phonemes in English represented by letters and letter combinations called graphemes. Mastering phonemes allows one to read and spell effectively. Various charts organize vowel and consonant phonemes by type and letter to help learn their sounds. Games then reinforce distinguishing phonemes through interactive practice.
1/The word “ Phone” means sound and “tics” means scientific or systematic study of something. So we can say that Phonetics means scientific or systematic study of human speech sounds.
Phonetics is general study of all human speech sounds and how they are produced, transmitted and received.
2/Phonology is the study of the sound system of particulars human languages, include dialects and other language varieties.

Language learning has always been an essential part of effective communication and development. Being accurate in using the second language makes it necessary to be professional in all aspects of L2. One of these neglected but important areas is stress. Stress is melody of conversation and each language has its own stress patterns. Accordingly, negative and positive interferences may happen for EFL/ESL learners. In this regard, the present research provided a contrastive study on the stress patterns of Persian and English. Exploring similarities and differences can help learners to have better understanding of accent when using English language and speak fluently.

3 Day I&F/Indoctrination and Familiarization to High Threat PSS/PSD OperationsKevin D. James
This intensive 3 day, thirty (30) hour course was designed to indoctrinate and familiarize persons with the essential duties, common tasks, and intelligence-based skills required to work as a member of a Protective Security Detail (PSD) deployed overseas in high threat environments.
Course tuition covers the following; airport shuttle pick up, overnight lodging, meals, Certificates of Competency, multi-state Concealed Carry Weapon Certification, and the production of training report cards.
This course is unique when compared to any other Close Protection/Bodyguard training programs on the market for the following reasons:
This is NOT a firearms course. Therefore, you will not waste time learning how to become a better shooter. However, you will shoot and qualify on the Glock pistol and M4 carbine (based on WPS/WPPS standards).
You will not waste time practicing jumping out of vehicles shooting back at imaginary insurgents or terrorist. In reality, the last thing a PSD team should do when ambushed or taking small arms fire is jump out of the vehicle and engage in a fire fight.
You will be introduced to official US Army and State Department WPS/WPPS training curriculum.
CERTIFICATION
Successful course graduates will receive; a Certificate of Competency, a detailed Tactical Skill Assessment Report Card, a Pistol and Carbine Certificate of Proficiency (based on State Department WPS/WPPS standards), Completion of Multi-state Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit application, a Certificate of Emergency First Aid/CPR Training, and assistance in putting together all required new hire documents that every employer is looking for when making a hire decision.

Sounds stress and intonation in the English languageMohan Raj Raj
This Powerpoint showcases a brief outline on these aspects of the English language which includes a crisp introduction to the sounds, stress and intonation.
This file is created for English literature students in universities especially for BA students. It is adapted from The study of language by George Yule. I hope this will help you
Phonetics and phonology are both linguistic fields that are interested in the role of sound in language. The importance of learning phonetics and phonology for someone whose first language is not English is paramount.
Learning phonetics will help a foreign speaker sound more like a native speaker by making them aware of the different sounds that English makes use of.

2. Learning Objectives
To learn how to use the Phoneme Charts.
To understand the 44 vowel and consonant
sounds in English.
3. Introduction
You can easily read and spell when you are
familiar with letter sounds.
As proof, do you face any of the following
when you read and spell:
1) Slow down when you face bigger words
2) Say out a big word when you spell
3) Confused between letter sounds, such as 'en' or
'on' , 'ir' or 'er', 'tion' or 'sion', when you spell
If you do, that's because you are relying on
your knowledge of letter sounds!
4. Letter Sounds
Therefore, to function effectively in reading
and spelling, letter sounds must be mastered.
Letter sounds are called Phonemes.
A Phoneme is the smallest sound unit
produced when you read a word.
These words all have 3 sounds.
1)'cat' - /c/ /a/ /t/
2)'tad' - /t/ /a/ /d/
3)'con' - /c/ /o/ /n/
5. Phonemes
In English, there is a total of 44 phonemes from
26 alphabets – 5 vowels and 21 consonants.
5 vowels – 20 phonemes
21 consonants – 24 phonemes
These 44 phonemes represent 95% of all
English words as they are spoken. For example,
for the letter 'a', these are different phonemes:
/a/ nt ban /a/ na sw /a/ n
b /a/ by zebr /a/ b /a/ ll
6. Phoneme Chart
We have organised vowel phonemes into a
convenient chart for you to refer.
This chart serves as a 'dictionary of sounds'.
Refer to your chart in your Learning Guide.
You will see it organised in alphabetical
order, boxes and colours.
We will explain this in further detail.
7. Phoneme Chart – alphabetical order
Alphabetical order is as follows:
a,e,i,o,u
The chart will show the phonemes produced by
these 5 vowels from the first - /a/ as in 'ant' – to
the last - /u/ as in 'bus'.
From this, you can see that:
1) One vowel has many sounds
Q: Underline the six phonemes with the letter 'a'.
8. Phoneme Chart – boxes
The letters inside the boxes produce the same
phoneme – the letters are called graphemes.
The first sound, /a/ as in 'ant', is represented by
'a' but the /er/ sound is represented by:
/ar/, /or/ , /ure/ , etc.
From this, you know:
1) Some phonemes have more graphemes.
2) The first grapheme is the most common for that
particular phoneme.
Q: Which phoneme has the most graphemes?
9. Vowel Phoneme Chart – colours
The colours show 3 types of sounds.
1) Red – Short Monophthong (SM)
2) Orange – Long Monophthong (LM)
3) Yellow – Dipthong (D)
SM – a phoneme that is a short burst; tongue
remains same position.
LM – a phoneme that is of a greater duration;
tongue is moving.
D – a phoneme where there's volume change;
tongue is moving
10. Vowel Phoneme Chart – colours
SM – a phoneme that is a short burst; tongue
remains same position.
LM – a phoneme that is of a greater duration;
tongue is moving.
D – a phoneme where there's volume change;
tongue is moving.
Q: Read each type of vowel phonemes – SM,
LM, D – from A to U. Can you hear the
difference in the length of time you say it and
its volume?
11. Consonant Phoneme Chart - colours
The colours show 6 types of sounds.
1) Red – Plosive
2) Orange – Liquid
3) Yellow – Affricate
4) Green – Nasal
5) Blue – semi-vowel
6) Violet – Fricative
These show the 7 colours of the rainbow
(except for indigo)!
12. Consonant Phoneme Chart - colours
Plosive – a consonant phoneme made by
stopping the air completely then suddenly
letting it out (like an explosion).
Liquid – a consonant phoneme made by closing
the mouth passage but allowing the air to
escape without friction (like water flowing).
Fricative – a consonant phoneme made by
forcing the air out through a narrow opening
(like rubbing where there's friction).
Affricate – a consonant phoneme consisting of
a plosive and a fricative (combine explosion
and friction).
13. Consonant Phoneme Chart - colours
Nasal -a consonant phoneme made by closing
the mouth passage and forcing the air through
the nose.
Semi-vowel – a consonant phoneme made in
the same way as a vowel but not producing a
beat/syllable.
Q: Read each type of consonant phoneme –
SM, LM, D – from B to Z. Can you feel the
closing of your mouth or throat? Note: Vowels
do not need to close mouth or throat; they are
created using the tongue (open passage).
14. Learning Activity
Group yourself into teams.
Play the games on your Learning Guide. You
may start from Game 1 and complete the list up
to Game 4.
Each 'win' is a point.
The team with the highest score wins.
15. Discussion
What are phonemes?
What are graphemes?
Why is it important to learn phonemes and
graphemes?
How do we apply this knowledge?
16. In Summary
Phonemes are letter sounds or sounds made by
letter/s.
Graphemes are the letters representing the
sounds. For example, for phoneme /f/, /ph/ is
another grapheme for the same phoneme.
Being familiar with phonemes will help us
greatly in spelling and reading.
With this knowledge, we know the right
grapheme when spelling and we know the right
phoneme when reading.
