The document discusses the English vowel system. It begins with an English vowel triangle that shows the positions of tongue for different pure vowels. It then provides more details on individual vowels, including their phonetic symbols, example words that contain the vowels, common pronunciation issues, and practice phrases. The document aims to help readers distinguish and produce English vowel sounds correctly.
Diphthongs are gliding vowels that have two vowel targets represented by two vowel symbols joined together. There are two types of diphthongs in English: closing diphthongs where the glide is from a more open to close position, and centering diphthongs where the glide is from a more peripheral to central position. The document then provides detailed descriptions of the individual phonetic features of each of the five closing diphthongs (/aɪ/, /eɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɑʊ/, /əʊ/) and three centering diphthongs (/ɪə/, /ʊə/, /ɛə/)
The document discusses various methods used by structural linguists to analyze the syntax of English, including analyzing words based on inflectional paradigms, derivational paradigms, intonation patterns, word order, and function words. It describes analyzing sentences by dividing them into immediate constituents and identifying noun phrases, verb phrases, and other phrase types. It also discusses analyzing sentences based on basic sentence patterns and expanding the relationships between parts.
The document provides strategies to improve reading comprehension skills. It discusses the SQ3R reading strategy which involves surveying, questioning, reading, reciting, and reviewing the text. Key terms are also defined, including close reading, university reader, contextual reading, and critical thinking. Close reading requires analyzing patterns, polarities, problems, and puzzles in the text. A university reader is someone who enjoys reading and can read critically. Contextual reading demonstrates discernment skills and the ability to read between the lines. Critical thinking involves analysis, evaluation, and synthesis using higher-order thinking skills.

Phonetics and phonology ii aspects of connected speechErica Femenia
The document discusses various aspects of connected speech in English, including elision, assimilation, compression, and linking. It provides examples of how sounds can be reduced, deleted, or influenced by neighboring sounds in fast, casual speech compared to citation forms. Elision involves the deletion of sounds, such as weak vowels between consonants. Assimilation is the influence of neighboring sounds on each other, which can be allophonic within words or phonemic. Compression involves shortening articulation of sounds, such as reducing diphthongs or compressing sequences into single syllables in fast speech.
This document defines and provides examples of key grammatical concepts used to build sentences, including clauses, phrases, and different sentence structures. It explains that sentences are formed from groups of words like clauses and phrases. Specifically, it outlines the differences between independent and dependent clauses, lists common dependent words, and gives examples of four basic sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. Prepositional phrases are also defined as groups of words starting with a preposition that add details like time or location.
English mandarin comparision presentationsheilacook
The document compares and contrasts features of the Mandarin and English languages. It summarizes that Mandarin is a tonal language written with logographic symbols and no alphabet, while English uses an alphabetic writing system. It also discusses common errors made by a native Mandarin speaker learning English, such as issues with verb tenses, word choice, and punctuation. The implications are that Mandarin and English differ significantly, so instruction should focus on areas of overlap and provide opportunities for English conversation practice.
A young girl chased a dog with her umbrella. The sentence was analyzed for its parts of speech and structure. Noun phrases can be expanded with modifiers like adjectives and prepositional phrases.
The document outlines a spelling pattern called "Floss" for closed syllable words with short vowel sounds followed by f, l, or s. According to the pattern, these consonants should be doubled to accurately spell one-syllable words like staff, small, knell, and glass. There are exceptions for common words like pal and words where the consonant sounds differ, such as is and of.
This document provides an overview of structural analysis of English syntax, including definitions of key terms and descriptions of paradigms and other aspects of syntax. It discusses inflectional and derivational paradigms for various parts of speech like nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. It also covers intonation patterns, word order, and function words as structural devices used to establish word classes in English.

P1 Powerpoint - http://www.slideshare.net/mod83/toms-tefl-p1-phonics-programme
This is an 'off-the-shelf' Hong Kong curriculum-based P2 Phonics Programme I've developed to follow on from my P1 materials.
The Powerpoint (247 slides) and Workbook (31 pages) sections include:
- Action Alphabet and Phonics Song revision.
- Minimal pairs (a/e, b/p, d/t, r/l, f/v - all easily confused).
- Animated 3-letter blends (a, e, i, o, u).
- Long and short vowel sound activities.
- Short vowel sound animated word families (a, e, i, o, u)
- Animated diagraphs (ch, sh, th, ck)
- Magic/Silent 'e'
- Animated initial consonant clusters/blends (bl/br, cl/cr, fl/fr, gl/gr, pl/pr)
It is based on an Education Bureau suggested Scheme of Work and KS1 of the HK curriculum. The animated diggers, blenders and cranes are inspired by proven methodology from Sesame Street!
This document discusses syllables and syllable stress in words. It defines a syllable as the sound of a vowel created when pronouncing letters like A, E, I, O, U. The number of syllables in a word is equal to the number of vowel sounds. Words can be mono-syllabic, having one syllable, or poly-syllabic, having multiple syllables. All multi-syllable words have one syllable that is stressed, making it longer, higher in pitch, and louder. The rules for determining stressed syllables in words of different types are explained. Examples are provided to demonstrate applying word stress correctly.
This document defines and categorizes the different parts of speech in syntax. It discusses lexical categories such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, determiners, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions and auxiliary verbs. It also examines phrasal categories including noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, adverbial phrases and prepositional phrases. Examples are provided to illustrate different parts of speech and how they are arranged to form sentences.

This document provides information about English diphthongs and consonants. It defines a diphthong as a glide between two vowel sounds. It then provides practice materials for common English diphthongs like [ei], [ai], [au], [oi], and [ou]. The document also defines various English consonant sounds such as [b], [d], [ð], [dʒ], [f], [g], [h], [j], [kh], [k], [l], [ɫ], [m], [n], [ŋ], [ph], [p], [r], [ɹ], [s], [ʃ], [th], [t], [
This document discusses several key concepts in generative grammar including X-bar theory, case theory, projection principle, adjuncts, and theta theory. It notes some limitations of X-bar theory and introduces concepts like case/caseless positions, the case filter, and how case theory addresses issues like why nouns and adjectives require prepositions when taking NP complements. It also defines key terms in theta theory like theta roles, theta grids, and the principles of theta theory regarding sisterhood and the theta criterion.
