English Consonants - Place of articulation
The document describes the place and manner of articulation of different English consonant sounds. It explains that consonants can be oral if the soft palate is raised during articulation, or nasal if the soft palate is lowered. Various consonants are classified based on where in the mouth they are articulated (bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palato-alveolar, palatal, velar, labial-velar). Key consonants for each place of articulation are identified, including whether they are plosives, fricatives, affricates, approximants, or laterals.
vowel sound
- Vowels are speech sounds produced with an open vocal tract, without obstruction of air flow, and are classified based on tongue height, frontness/backness, and lip rounding.
- The document discusses the classification of English vowels, including short vowels, long vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs. It provides phonetic transcriptions and examples of words containing each vowel type.
- Vowels are contrasted with consonants, which involve closure or constriction in the vocal tract, obstructing air flow. The complex English vowel system and unpredictable spelling are also noted.
Consonants presentation
The document discusses the classification of consonant sounds according to place, manner, and voicing. It explains that consonants are classified based on where in the vocal tract they are articulated (place), how they are articulated (manner), and whether the vocal cords vibrate (voiced or voiceless). Examples are provided to demonstrate the different places of articulation including bilabial, alveolar, velar, and others. Common consonant sounds in English are also illustrated using IPA symbols together with their classification.
Phonology: The Sound Patterns of Language
The document discusses several key concepts in phonology:
1. Phonology is concerned with how sounds function and pattern in a language. It describes how speech sounds are organized and affect one another in pronunciation.
2. Phonemes are abstract mental representations of sounds, not the physical sounds themselves. Minimal pairs can be used to identify phonemes by finding words that differ in only one sound.
3. Allophones are different versions of the same underlying phoneme. They are non-contrastive and found in complementary distribution, occurring in different phonetic environments.
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.
Vowels
Vowels are distinguished from consonants phonologically by their ability to form syllable nuclei. Vowels differ phonetically in terms of tongue position (height and frontness/backness), length, and rounding. English has short and long vowels that vary in height from high to low and in frontness from front to back, with some central vowels. Vowels are also distinguished as rounded or unrounded based on lip position during articulation. Analyzing vowels this way allows for an accurate description of their phonetic production.
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.
Phonology
Phonology is the study of the sound system of a language. It examines phonemes, which are abstract linguistic units that include different sounds, and allophones, which are variant forms of the same phoneme that differ in features. Phonemic transcription uses symbols to represent phonemes, while phonetic transcription shows articulatory detail by representing allophones between brackets. Diacritics provide extra information in phonetic but not phonemic transcription. Minimal pairs reveal phoneme distinctions, and complementary distribution and free variation describe sound patterns. Neutralization occurs when phoneme opposition is lost in an environment.

Phonology phonological features of english vowels
The document discusses phonological features of English vowels. It explains that features are theoretical constructs used to analyze phonemes. Features must have a descriptive function to capture phonetic properties, a contrastive function to distinguish phonemes, and a classificatory function to group similar phonemes. The major features discussed are [±sonorant], [±continuant], [±consonantal], height features like [±high] and [±low], and vocalic features like [±back], [±round], and [±tense]. Redundancy rules are also used to make the feature system more economical by predicting predictable features.

The module aims to help students improve pronunciation, speak confidently, and enhance understanding of vowels in a fun way. Upon completing the module, students will be able to explain and correctly pronounce short and long vowels and identify their positions.
Phonetics and Phonology
Minimal pairs are pairs of words that differ by only one phoneme in the same position. They are useful for focusing on individual sounds. Not all sounds appear in all languages, and speakers may substitute or omit sounds not in their native language. Allophones are variations of the same phoneme that do not change a word's meaning. Phonotactics and co-articulation effects describe how sounds are sequenced and influenced by neighboring sounds in a language.

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.
