Having an accent is something totally normal and is should not be seen as lack of knowledge about the language. What is important is to have a pronunciation that is objective enough for the listener to not be confused. Among native English language speakers there is a wide variety of accents even in the same country or state, so we should care less about students having an accent, we must focus on improving their pronunciation. But overall this, we must focus on having them speaking. In order to so, me have to provide meaningful activities where students can engage and feel safe to be able to speak. In CLT principles we see that inside the activity we have to take care of the importance of creating a audience for the speaker. The activities where students are involved speaking , there must be a need for the listener to listen and for the speaker to speak.

    “Speakers choose among sociolinguistic variants available; their choices group together in ways which are obvious and interpretable to other speakers in the community”(68), Green says in context to the fact that inside speech communities, specific languages seem normal but once you leave that area, it may be hard to communicate as effectively with others. The way that people communicate is the way they are able to relate to their neighbors, when you take that away from them you take away their allegiance and their sense of loyalty to their community (68). Even if two people who speak different versions of English, they are both speaking English and will be able to understand each other, but communication is always easier and more effective when conversing with someone who has a similar linguistic style, or with someone from a related culture. Even when all parties are willing to work hard and share the burden of communication, sometimes accents can be too much of a barrier and prevent full

    Then, Esha Dey does linguistic analysis of the novel. She quotes a few passages from the novel and dissects them word to word and line to line. She believes that Rao has linguistically used the devices of dehumanization, as Marxist belief ultimately requires a separation from nature, from the vital process of life. For example the description of Irene, the wife of Kirillov, reflects that her womanhood is negated, ‘Kirillov really loved Irene. She had the red blood, the red hair, the passionate index finger, and dialectics had drained her lust into irate channels.’

    This reminds me of my experience of learning English from a Chinese teacher in a local school and the difference I felt from being in a western style classroom. I remember the first time, when my teacher started introducing herself in English, she obviously had a Chinese accent to her English, which led to me thinking of her being an inexperienced teacher. However, when I heard our English teacher speak, I notice a huge difference between both of the teacher’s English-speaking skills. My English teacher was speaking more clearer and quicker than the Chinese teacher, making it sound more conviving. But because the way they use their words was so different from the "Chinese version" of the English I have listened to all these years, it took me a longer time to understand what my English teacher says.

    It is very difficult because the accent is difficult to understand when you are communicating with some local person. Secondly, when you are in class, it is very difficult to understand the lecture because teacher speaks very fast and you cannot follow the class notes.

  • Synthetic Phonics Essay

    1521 Words  | 7 Pages

    Phonics is the way that patterns of and relationships between letters are used to attribute oral meaning to the written word: equating the 26 graphemes of the alphabet with the approximately 44 phonemes, or sounds, of oral language (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2016; Hill, 2012, p. 241). Understanding phonics is an essential component of emerging literacy, as alphabet knowledge and phonemic awareness (identification of letters and the sounds they make) are skills recognised as key predictors of ongoing literacy ability (Piasta & Wagner., 2010, p. 8; Kitson, 2014, p. 191); subsequently, many approaches have been developed to teach these skills. Fundamentally, these can be categorised as bottom-up and top-down

    The sound system is more complex and inconsistent in English than in other languages. There are more than 40 different phonemes in spoken English, and there can be a number of different phonemes to represent the same sound (for example, f and ph'). Phonics helps us to look at the different letter patterns together, along with their sounds. Synthetic phonics puts the teaching of letters and sounds into an orderly framework. It requires the reader to learn simpler individual sounds first, then start to put them together to form words, and finally progress to the most complex combinations.
