The document discusses the importance of learning phonetics for English language learners, especially for those whose native language is quite different from English. It notes that while the English alphabet only has 26 letters, there are actually 44 possible pronunciation combinations. Learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) will allow learners to properly pronounce English words without assistance by dividing sounds into vowels, diphthongs, and consonants. The goal is for learners to be able to pronounce new English words independently.

Phone, phoneme and allophone
Phoneme consists of two parts: phon and eme. Phon refers to the shape of a sound, and phoneme is formed when eme is added to phon. A phoneme is the smallest unit in a language that can change meaning. A phoneme is a set of allophones, which are variants of the same phoneme that do not change meaning. An essential property of a phoneme is that it functions contrastively in a language.
teaching pronunciation activity
This document provides guidance on teaching pronunciation to students. It begins with an introduction that explains common pronunciation errors students make and the importance of teaching pronunciation. It then outlines segmental and suprasegmental activities teachers can use. Segmental activities focus on individual sounds and include rhyming, minimal pairs, and hidden games. Suprasegmental activities teach features such as word stress, intonation, and misheard song lyrics through activities like stand up/sit down, adding arrows to songs, and guessing correct lyrics. The overall summary is that the document offers pronunciation teaching techniques including segmental and suprasegmental activities for teachers to use in the classroom.
Assessing listening micro and macroskills of listening

Allophone presentation
This document discusses phonology and the relationship between phonemes and allophones. It defines phonemes as the smallest units of sound that distinguish meaning, while allophones are predictable variants of phonemes that are conditioned by their context. Phonemes group sets of similar-sounding allophones. For example, [p] and [ph] in English are allophones of the same /p/ phoneme because they occur in complementary distribution and can be substituted without changing a word's meaning. Allophones are phonetic realizations of phonemes that follow language-specific rules.
English vowel system
The English vowel system is determined by the position of the lips, tongue, and palate. Vowels are produced without obstruction to airflow from the lungs. Their sounds are created by subtle changes in the shape of the vocal tract. For example, the vowel sound /i:/ as in "bean" is made with the tongue raised towards the roof of the mouth, while /u:/ as in "boon" has the back of the tongue raised. Vowels also differ based on lip rounding and length.

Teacher Training Pronunciation
This document provides guidance for teaching pronunciation to English language learners. It discusses the parts of the body used to make sounds, and recommends teaching phonetics gradually by introducing it when errors are noticed or in textbook lessons. Teaching techniques include exaggerating mouth movements, drilling sounds, and relating them to images. The document emphasizes making phonetics fun and explains concepts like vowel/consonant sounds, voiced/unvoiced sounds, stress patterns, and syllables. It also addresses when to pronounce 'ed' as /t/, /d/ or /Id/ depending on the preceding sound. Real examples are provided to demonstrate pronunciation rules.
Allophones
A brief discussion of Allophones. It includes examples and as well as discussion of the elements of a paper review.
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF VOWELS
This document discusses the classification of English vowels according to four criteria: tongue position, mouth openness, lip shape, and length. It outlines the categories of front, central, and back vowels based on where the highest point of the tongue is placed in the mouth. Vowels are also classified as close, semi-close, semi-open, and open based on the openness of the mouth. Vowels can be rounded or unrounded depending on lip shape. Finally, vowels are either long or short based on length. The document also provides examples of assimilation rules where the final consonant sound of one word changes when followed by another word based on place or manner of articulation.
Phonology
Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages. It examines an inventory of sounds and rules for how they interact, and analyzes sound patterns to determine which sounds are significant for a language. Phonetics studies speech sound production, while phonology analyzes sound patterns and interpretations in a particular language. A phoneme is the smallest meaningful sound unit that distinguishes word meanings. Generative phonology assigns phonetic representations to utterances based on a speaker's internal grammar. Non-linear models like autosegmental and metrical phonology treat representations as multi-dimensional. Lexical phonology accounts for interactions of morphology and phonology in word formation through ordered levels.
Intonation
This document discusses intonation, which refers to variations in pitch when speaking. It notes intonation plays a key role in expressing meaning. There are different intonation patterns in English, such as statements with falling pitch and questions with rising pitch. These patterns add conventionalized meanings. The focus of a sentence is typically marked with an intonational accent on the last major word, but this can come earlier to emphasize other words. Questions, statements, commands and exclamations each have distinguishing intonation contours. Intonation patterns differ across languages and can lead to cross-cultural misunderstandings regarding emphasis, finality and other meanings.
Phonology
The document discusses phonology, which is concerned with how speech sounds are classified and organized in language. It covers the basic units of phonology including phones, phonemes, and allophones. It also describes segmental phonology, which involves sound changes like assimilation, elision, and linking, as well as phonotactics. Suprasegmental phonology involves word stress, sentence stress, and tones. Word stress refers to emphasizing certain syllables to distinguish words' meanings, while sentence stress emphasizes important information words.
Syllable
This document provides an overview of syllables, including their nature, structure in English, and principles of syllable division. It defines a syllable phonetically as consisting of an onset, nucleus, and coda. The English syllable structure is described as having optional onsets with one or more consonants and codas with up to four consonants. Principles of maximal onsets and sonority are introduced for dividing syllables between words. Examples demonstrate possible consonant combinations in onsets, codas, and ambisyllabic consonants.
How to teach listening in English (sina afshar)
The document discusses how to teach listening in three phases: pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening. In the pre-listening phase, teachers activate students' background knowledge to prepare them for the listening text. During the while-listening phase, teachers guide students as they respond to the text through activities. In the post-listening phase, students reflect on and discuss the language form through tasks like dialogues and writing assignments based on the text. Overall, the document provides guidance on listening instruction strategies and activities teachers can use in each phase of listening.
Phonology
Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages. A phonological system includes an inventory of sounds and their features, and rules for how sounds interact. Phonology studies syllable structure, stress, accent, and intonation. It analyzes the sound patterns of a particular language by determining significant sounds and how native speakers interpret them. Phonemes are the smallest units that can change meaning, like in minimal pairs. Phonology differs from phonetics in that phonology analyzes a language's sound patterns while phonetics analyzes all human sounds regardless of language.
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
Teaching Listening
This document discusses key aspects of teaching listening skills to language learners. It defines listening as an active process where learners try to understand spoken words and attach meaning. While listening was once seen as a passive skill, it is actually an active process of constructing meaning from sounds. Effective listening requires language knowledge as well as socio-cultural and strategic competence. Studies show that both first language listening ability and second language proficiency contribute to comprehension, with proficiency being a stronger predictor. The document also discusses using top-down and bottom-up skills in listening, and outlines the stages of pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening activities.
Notional functional syllabus
The document discusses the notional/functional syllabus approach to language teaching. It begins by defining the notional/functional syllabus and explaining that it focuses on the functional uses of language over grammatical forms. It then provides more details on the origins and key concepts of the notional/functional approach, including notions, functions, form-function mapping, and its relationship to communicative language teaching. The document also discusses strengths and limitations of the notional/functional syllabus and how it can be applied.
English vowels
This document provides information about English vowels and diphthongs. It discusses vowel letters and sounds, and how sounds are classified based on tongue height, tongue backness, lip rounding, length, and tense vs lax articulation. Examples and links to pronunciation exercises are given to help learners practice distinguishing vowel sounds based on these phonetic characteristics.

It discusses language as a complex system of vocal symbols and sound units that combine according to rules to form structures with meaning. Language began as early humans' first words and the assigning of names to things. There are many languages because groups developed differently over time and isolated from each other. The document asks why languages have different accents and what the differences are between accents and dialects. It recommends learning English pronunciation to avoid issues like native language interference that can cause foreign accents.

Week 3 phonology copy
This document discusses phonology and phonetics. It defines phonology as the study of sound patterns in languages, including phonemes and prosody. Phonetics is defined as the scientific study of speech sounds, including their articulation, acoustic properties, and perception. The difference between phonetics and phonology is explained, with phonology dealing with sound systems and phonetics dealing with physical realization of sounds. Key concepts like phonemes and phones are introduced. English spelling irregularities and their historical causes are also summarized. The importance of studying phonetics and phonology for learners of English as a second language is highlighted.
Introduction to phonics for teachers
This document provides an overview of a phonics class for teachers with 15 lessons. It begins by defining phonics as the relationship between letters and sounds. Key topics covered include vowels, consonant blends, decoding words, and segmenting sounds. The importance of phonics for reading and spelling is explained. Phonics instruction should progress from individual letters and sounds to more advanced combinations. A variety of methods and games are recommended for teaching phonics to keep students engaged.
Vowels and diphtong
The document discusses vowels and diphthongs. It defines vowels as speech sounds produced without significant constriction in the vocal tract, and notes they do not have a place or manner of articulation. Vowels can be divided based on voicing, tongue position (front, central, back), tongue height (high, mid, low), rounding (rounded, unrounded), and length (long, short). Diphthongs are two-part vowels where the quality changes within a single syllable, like in "boy", while monophthongs have only one part. Diphthongs can be analyzed as a sequence of two vowels or a vowel glide. Semi-vowels are sounds like /j/ in

Finally, highlight any differences using phrases such as "on the other hand" or "whereas." Follow this order and avoid overfocusing on one picture. Use vocabulary related to actions, landscapes, descriptions, feelings, times. Employ comparative structures, adverbs of degree, verbs of existence, and connectors to clearly show similarities and differences.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Phonemic chart
- 1. PHONETICS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE The study of phonetics in a language is considered for advanced students. However, in English it is especially important from early because of the many problems some learners have when pronouncing it. This is especially so when our mother tongue is quite different to English. Remember that in the English alphabet we have 26 letters but the possibilities of pronunciation are much higher (actually 44!!) Some symbols may look strange at first but with a bit of practice it is easy as pie. Most times we use the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) The goal for learning this table is to be able to know how to pronounce an English word for the first time without the help of a native speaker or an audio dictionary. The sounds are divided into three main groups: 1) VOWELS (with short and long vowels) 2) DIPHTHONGS 3) CONSONANTS (with voiced and unvoiced consonants)
