It explains how to pronounce different sounds and includes practice exercises identifying vowels, consonants, stressed syllables, and words pronounced differently. Videos are included to demonstrate pronunciation of specific sounds like /b/ vs /p/ and /θ/ vs /ð/. The purpose is to teach pronunciation and phonetic transcription using IPA symbols.
Syllables
This document provides information about syllables including definitions, examples of words with different numbers of syllables, and rules for dividing words into syllables. It includes practice exercises where the reader is asked to read aloud words divided into syllables. The document covers topics such as prefixes, suffixes, consonant patterns, and vowel sounds to help determine syllable breaks. Practice words include ones with 2-5 syllables. The goal is to help readers learn to accurately divide words into syllables.
Consonant blends-power-point
This document provides a list of common consonant blends and digraphs in English. It lists initial consonant blends such as "bl", "br", "cl", and "cr" as well as consonant digraphs including "ch", "sh", "th", and "wh". The document appears to be an alphabetized listing of consonant combinations that occur at the beginning of words as resources for teaching phonics or spelling.
Stop consonants
The document discusses the stop consonants /t/ and /d/. It explains that both are produced with the tongue contacting the alveolar ridge in a lingua-alveolar manner, but /t/ is voiceless while /d/ is voiced, meaning the vocal cords vibrate only for /d/. The key difference between the two consonant sounds is whether vocal cord vibration occurs during articulation.

The document lists the most common English diphthongs (/eɪ/, /aɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɪə/, /eə/, /aʊ/, /oʊ/) and provides example words to demonstrate how each diphthong is pronounced. It notes that pronunciation of diphthongs can vary between dialects. The purpose is to help readers understand and correctly pronounce diphthongs in English.
Suprasegmentals
This document discusses suprasegmentals, which are aspects of speech that are beyond individual speech sounds or segments. It defines several types of suprasegmentals including connected speech processes like assimilation, elision, and linking, as well as prosody elements like stress, intonation, and isochrony. Assimilation involves one sound becoming more like an adjacent sound, elision is the omission of sounds, and linking is the blending of words. Stress refers to loudness, intonation is variation in pitch that conveys meaning, and isochrony is the hypothesized rhythmic division of time in languages. Examples of each suprasegmental are provided.
Consonant blends or Consonant digraphs?
Consonant Digraphs are when 2 or more consonants are blended together to make one new sound. Consonant Blends are when 2 or more consonants are blended together with each sound heard.

Syllable
For basic understanding of knowing what syllable is.
Always use phonetic transcription(produce/ articulate the sounds in the word) to mark or identify syllables.
Manner of articulation
This document describes the six main manners of articulation in phonology: plosive, nasal, fricative, affricative, lateral, and approximant. It provides details on three types of plosive sounds - bilabial (/p/ and /b/), alveolar (/t/ and /d/), and velar (/k/ and /g/). It also discusses the three nasal sounds - bilabial (/m/), alveolar (/n/), and velar (/ŋ/). For each sound, it outlines the place and manner of articulation, distinctive features, occurrences, and spelling forms.
English Consonants
This document defines consonants and describes their classification in English phonology. It defines consonants as speech sounds involving stricture or closure in the vocal tract. Consonants are classified based on four features: 1) whether the vocal cords vibrate (voiced vs voiceless), 2) whether the velum is lowered (nasal) or raised (oral), 3) place of articulation where stricture occurs, and 4) manner of articulation regarding amount of stricture and air flow. It provides charts of the place and manner of articulation for English consonant phonemes such as plosives, nasals, fricatives, affricates, laterals and glides.
Phonetics powerpoint
This document provides an overview of phonetics and its subfields. It defines phonetics as the study of sounds and their production in language. The three main subfields are articulatory phonetics, which studies speech production using the organs of speech; acoustic phonetics, which deals with the acoustic aspects of sounds; and auditory phonetics, which concerns the hearing of speech sounds. It then provides details on the organs of speech involved in sound production, such as the lips, teeth, tongue, alveolar ridge, hard palate, velum, uvula, and glottis.
Phonology Introduction
Phonology is the study of sound systems in languages. It has four branches: segmental phonology which analyzes speech into discrete segments like phonemes; suprasegmental phonology which analyzes features over multiple segments like intonation and stress; diachronic phonology which studies sound patterns through a language's history; and synchronic phonology which studies sound patterns regardless of historical change. Phonology also examines phones which are minimal speech units, phonemes which are distinctive minimal units, and allophones which are variants of phonemes that occur in different phonetic environments. A syllable contains a sonority peak like a vowel with optional onset and coda consonants. Syllable structure and distinctive features are also
International Phonetic Alphabet
The three body parts used for language and speech are the brain for memory and coordination, the vocal cords to make sounds, and the mouth to monitor pronunciation. The document then discusses the smallest units of speech - phonemes and syllables - and how words are formed from combinations of syllables. It explains vowels and consonants, diphthongs, and the International Phonetic Alphabet used in dictionaries to indicate pronunciation. Various consonant types - plosives, nasals, fricatives, sibilants, approximants, affricates, and laterals - are defined in terms of their manner of articulation.

/l/ and /r/ sound
The document discusses the differences between light and dark /l/ sounds, and /r/ sounds, in English. There are two types of /l/ sounds - light /l/ has the tongue tip behind the top teeth, while dark /l/ has the tongue tip further back. /r/ is similar to dark /l/ but the tongue should not touch the roof of the mouth. Examples are provided to demonstrate the different sounds in words.
Long and Short Vowel Sounds.pptx
The document discusses pronunciation accuracy, specifically focusing on long and short vowel sounds in English. It explains that pronunciation refers to clarity of language rather than accents. Mispronouncing vowels can cause miscommunication. The International Phonetic Alphabet is introduced as a way to represent sounds, and long and short vowel symbols are shown. Examples of minimal word pairs that differ only in long or short vowels are provided for practice. Tasks involve recording oneself practicing vowel sounds and reciting poems to identify long and short vowels.

Minimal pairs L and R
- 1. Minimal Pairs /l/ and /r/ Joli Salomon
- 2. Language Tip • /l/ is pronounced with a large flap of the tongue. The best way to make it clear that you aren’t pronouncing /r/ is to bend your tongue as far back as you can in your mouth, and flick it forward as you say /l/. (You can help control your tongue by holding one hand next to your mouth with your fingers in the same position as your tongue, and flick your fingers at the same time as your tongue.) • /r/ is pronounced many different ways in various English-speaking countries and regions, so it is not particularly useful to ask students to base their pronunciation on what native speakers do with their mouths. As making a distinction is the most important thing, it is often better to exaggerate the differences between the two sounds. These descriptions are therefore meant to be useful for students rather than explanations of usual pronunciations. • /r/ is totally unlike /l/ for English speakers. In fact, some people pronounce it much more like /w/. The best way of making the distinction is try to move your tongue as little as possible when making the sound. (You can use your hand to help in the same way as suggested with /l/, but this time keeping your hand still. It can also help to start with your top teeth just touching the back of your bottom lip.)
