Phonetics: The Study Of Phonetics In The English Language

1537 Words7 Pages

Pronunciation Difficulties
Phonetics: is the study of the sound of the language these individual sounds are called phonemes. There are many phonemes that are used in the different languages. Even a single language like the English language requires us to differentiate between at least forty phonemes. Some sounds might let us differentiate between the accents, identify the person who is speaking and the intonation helps us to indicate things that are beyond the meaning of the words.
The vocal tract: in order to study the sounds of any language we need to study the vocal tract. Any speech starts with lungs which push air out. The sound production in the vocal tract could be buzz which is the vibration of the vocal cords, the hiss which is the air is being pushed past a construction, and the pop of a closer released. After that we have the larynx or the voice box. It sits at the wind pipe coming up from the lungs, and then we have the …show more content…

• The systematic occurrences in the second language compared to the correct use of the native language.
Burt and Kiparsky (1972) divided errors into local and global errors. Global errors they cause miscommunication while local errors don’t affect the meaning or the message delivered. Breaking down the errors helps the teacher to deal with them separately. The teacher should first identify the error and then create a task that includes the sound the learner needs to work on and put it in context that has a meaning. Students can practice sounds through minimal pairs and then put them in sentences. The student can stand in front of the mirror and read these sentences and correct himself/herself. Role plays help the students to practice the targeted sound in real life situations. Tongue twisters are interesting and they help to practice pronunciation. Students can also listen to a song to learn how the singer is producing that sound and then practice by

    758 Words  | 4 Pages

    Richard Rodriguez had written a book that people could relate to especially if their parents weren’t originally from the United States. When I encountered the passage “-it was unsettling to hear my parents struggle with English” (27). It reminded me of how my mother who originally grew up and lived in the Philippines and struggles with English when she speaks fast. Growing up I began to notice that she made grammatical errors that would often confuse me. My dad didn’t stay in the Philippines as long as my mum did but even he has mispronunciations time to time when I talk to him.

    I will also provide flashcards of different words with /ch/, /th/ and /l/ sounds in them and then have the student read off each word. One idea I found was using the Sorry board game and use the flashcards as game cards. The student has to correctly say the word to move his piece. The words can get harder as the game progresses or as the student progresses in his articulation. The student can also bring home the books so he can practice on his own how to correctly articulate/pronounce the different words.

  • Phonological Awareness: A Phonological Study

    1443 Words  | 6 Pages

    Phonological awareness (PA) is generically defined as the conscious ability to break words into individual sounds and manipulate these sounds. PA abilities have been shown to affect early literacy skills in normal hearing children and deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children alike. Even though advanced cochlear implant (CI) and hearing aid (HA) technology is making tremendous strides for the DHH community, these hearing devices still cannot completely restore normal hearing or fully represent all aspects of normal speech sounds. Therefore, children within this population are potentially at a higher risk for speech disorders, delays, and language difficulties. If research studies can lead to a better understanding of how PA develops in young children with CIs or HAs, then educators and Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) will be able to identify which children are at a higher risk for literacy delays later in life; consequently, preventing these delays by facilitating early development of PA skills.

  • Phonological Variation Of Yash Essay

    642 Words  | 3 Pages

    V. Phonological Variation There are several phonetic and phonological variations that Yash struggles with when speaking English that can be seen in the IPA transcription of our interview. The first most obvious variation is Yash substitutes the D for T multiple times throughout this interview, and can be seen in the way he pronounced words like the, things, and many other English words that have the letter T in them. Another phonetical variation that Yash has when speaking English is that Yash struggles being consistent when pronouncing certain letters, in particular vowels. He is very inconsistent with his pronunciation of Vowels especially, and this can be seen in the way he can pronounces vowels properly in some words in the transcript, but then struggles properly pronouncing the same vowel in a different word.

    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.

  • Synthetic Phonic Analysis

    302 Words  | 2 Pages

    Synthetic phonics instruction focuses on teaching students the letters and corresponding sounds that make up words (Hill, 2012). Synthetic phonics instruction is the main method of teaching phonics as it allows children from any background and knowledge base to develop their reading ability. This approach is normally teacher-centred and involves explicit instruction practice and feedback (National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy, 2005). The bottom-up approach is used since children learn how each letter makes up a syllable, word, sentence and paragraph (National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy, 2005). For example, a teacher writing the letter ‘a’ would explain the sound it makes in the word ‘tap’, this would then be extrapolated
