    PREFACE

    Lanes English Pronunciation Guide is a drill book designed for learners of English as aSecond Language. It has two sections: Consonants and Vowels.

    The consonants and vowels give practice in the pronunciation of 40 distinct English sounds.

    Each phoneme is indicated by the International Phonetic Alphabet, accompanied by a list ofalternative English spellings. There is also a diagram for each sound, showing the position ofthe tongue, teeth and lips, and indicating whether the sound is voiced or voiceless, i.e., whetheror not it has a vibration. The correct positioning of the tongue and other speech organs is vital

    to clear pronunciation, therefore, the diagrams should be used as constant reminders whenworking on minimal pairs.

    The words in the drills form a large part of the vocabulary found in Dr. Lanes text series

    entitled Lanes English as a Second Language. When used together, the PronunciationGuide and the texts provide the learner with continual cross reinforcement of words andsounds.

    SPEECH ORGANS

    Voiced sounds are produced with the vocal cords nearly closed and vibrating. Voiceless

    sounds are made with the vocal cords open. In the profile diagrams, a vibrating lineindicates that the sound is voiced; dashes indicate that it is voiceless.

    Where production of the sound involves movement of the tongue, lips, or jaw, the startingposition is shown by a solid line, the direction of movement by an arrow, and the finalposition by a broken line.

    LESSON FORMAT

    The standard lesson is designed for 30 minutes. The teacher may begin by saying the sound

    several times and then pointing out its alternative spellings at the top of the page. Using thediagram, the teacher should indicate the position of the lips, teeth and tongue, and whetherthe sound is voiced or voiceless.

    Beginning with the six proper nouns under the diagram, the teacher should pronounce eachword clearly and have the students repeat in unison. Then each student should have theopportunity to say the words individually.

    Where possible each sound is given in its initial, medial and final positions. Because it iseasier to hear and then reproduce the sound if it is relatively isolated at the beginning and endof a word, it is recommended that the following order of presentation be used:

    1. initial2. final

    3. medial

    In presenting each phoneme, the teacher should go down a column of words modeling eachof them and letting the students repeat in unison. Finally each student should pronounce the

    column individually. Except in advanced classes, it is recommended that little attention begiven to word meaning. Teachers should point out that what is important is the sound. This, ofcourse, may vary from class to class and with a teachers particular style.

    At the bottom of each page, there is a list of minimal pairs which provides a contrastive

    exercise between easily confused sounds. By this time, students have heard the sound (inthe majority of cases) in at least 42 different words so their ability to reproduce and discrimi-

    nate it from other sounds should be much higher than when they began the exercise. Stu-dents may find it helpful if the teacher pronounces the pure sounds before each of them giveshis recitation of the pairs. For example, the teacher may say s-z, s-z, s-z(as sounds, not asletters), before a student attempts see-z, seal-zeal, sink-zinc, etc. The teacher should stress

    the difference between the voiced and voiceless pairs.

    Page 43 gives practice with rincluding discrimination between far, fair, fear, andfor. Page 44deserves special attention because it deals with the voiced and unvoiced pronunciation of dat the end of words.

    TEACHING HINTS

    1. Give your students a good model of pronunciation to follow.

    2. Let your students see your mouth when you speak.

    3. Do not jump from one exercise to another. Work on one phoneme at a time. Remember that for astudent to achieve his goal of accurate pronunciation, he must first hear the sound correctly and under-stand its proper articulation. This takes time, patience and drilling.

    4. Do not be overly demanding about a students pronunciation the first few times. If a student can notreproduce the sound, you may stop, go over the articulation, give a couple of distinct examples, and/or

    make a contrast with a similar, but different sound. Failure to reproduce a sound can easily lead astudent to frustration. A good teacher will stop well before this point. Remember that repetition is the

    mother of learning, so after identifying a few sounds that are difficult for your class, repeat them fre-quently during the course.

    5. Note the students with the best pronunciation and always begin with them during the individualrecitations. This allows the weaker ones to hear the sound several times before their turn.

    6. Use the diagrams to indicate the position of the tongue, teeth and lips. Be very careful that your

    students position these organs correctly, for if you do not, they will not be able to reproduce the qualityof sound necessary to speak without an accent. For example, most languages have the sound of d

    but in making this sound some speakers put their tongues behind their teeth and some put them far upon the roof of their mouths. English speakers put theirs on the gum ridge directly above the front teeth.Each position gives a different quality d. A student who wants to speak English correctly must, there-

    fore, position his tongue accordingly. Be patient, but demanding. Your students will thank you.

    7. Explain that some sounds have a vibration in the throat and some do not. Those with a vibration(voiced sounds) are indicated in the text with and those without a vibration (voiceless sounds) are

    shown with in the diagrams. The vibration may be felt by placing the hand on the throat. Thepresence or absence of the vibration is extremely important, because it is the only difference between

    the pronunciation of the following pairs:

    voiceless: s f t T p k hw S tS

    voiced: z v d D b g w Z dZ

    8. Cognizance of the difference between voiced and voiceless sounds will aid learners in avoiding avery serious mistake. Speakers of Indo-European language have a marked tendency to unvoice final

    voiced consonants. When this is done in English, it causes cabto becomecap, bed - bet, pig - pick,

    save - safe, his - hiss, edge - etch, etc. It is thus very important for students to learn to voice final voicedconsonants.

    9. A second mistake to avoid is in the pronunciation of p, t and k. English, in contrast to many other

    languages, requires a light puff of air (aspiration) when these voiceless consonants are found, espe-cially at the beginning and end of words (pipe, tent, kick). Failure to aspirate gives a flat effect to

    English pronunciation. The strong aspiration that we give these sounds can be demonstrated by pro-nouncing them while holding a sheet of paper in one hand about two inches from the mouth.

    10. Some languages, particularly Italian and Japanese, have very few final consonant sounds. Whenspeakers of such languages pronounce English words with final constants, one often seems to hear

    an extra a, for example: cab-a, road-a, bag-a. In fact, what is happening is the speaker is releasingthe consonant before the air flow stops. This tendency may be corrected by holding, or not

    releasing the consonant until the air flow stops. This solution works best with final voiced consonants.

    Although some linguists apply the same remedy to voiceless ones, this author feels that the aspira-tion of final voiceless consonants gives a desirable crispness to pronunciation and produces a cleardistinction betweencanandcant, didand didnt, tenand tent,etc.

    11. Sounds may be divided into three groups: consonants, vowels and diphthongs.

    CONSONANTS may be subdivided into

    A. PLOSIVES - sounds that are stopped abruptly: p, b, t, d, k, g, tS, dZ

    B. CONTINUANTS - sounds that may continue as long as the breath lasts:

    1. fricatives- sounds made by forcing air through a narrow space causing friction: f, v, w, hw, h,

    r, D, T

    2. sibilant fricatives- sounds with a whistle:s, z, S, Z

    3. nasal continuants- sounds made by the passage of air through the nose: m, n, N

    4. lateral continuant- sound made by the passage of air around the sides of the tongue:l

    5. semi-consonants (or semi-vowels)- free-flowing sounds with a vowel-like quality:ju, j

    VOWELS are unobstructed voiced sounds. They are often classified according to the position of thetongue. The sounds may be made on the FRONT, MIDDLE, or BACK of the tongue which may be ina high, medium, or low position.

    FRONT

    high i (eel)I (it)

    medium E (edge)low Q (atom)

    MIDDLE (up, mama)

    BACKhigh u (shoe)

    U (book)medium (author)low A (ox)

    DIPHTHONGS or glides are a combination of two vowel sounds. They may be shown to progressfrom the high front of the tongue to the low back.

    FRONT j (yes)ju (youth)e (ape)aI (ice)

    BACK I (oil)o (oak)aU (out)

    ACCENT IMPROVEMENT- Two frequently heard defects in English pronunciation are:

    1. a slurring and/or

    2. a staccato ta-ta-ta-ta quality

    The first problem, slurring, is often heard from speakers of languages that encourage a liaison between

    the end of one word and the beginning of the next. When this is done in English the result is quiteundesirable. The English ear does not expect musical or lyrical qualities; it responds to crispness. Welike to hear one word end before the next begins. Not only are the consonant endings of many words adefinite obstacle to linking, intelligibility demands their clear articulation. We want and need to hear a

    difference between:

    14 40 ask asked160 1/60 print prints

    can cant be in beingbe beef faint faintedpour pork

    To achieve the desired crispness, we have to cut words from one another by giving full value to conso-

    nant endings. Exaggeration is not unwarranted, because the student will naturally reduce it.

    The second problem, a staccato quality, comes from the fact that in most languages vowels are givenequal stress so that every syllable has equal value. Stress within the words is achieved by accentuat-

    ing a particular syllable. When English is spoken in this fashion, the result is a computer-like output.

    In English, all syllables of a word are not given equal stress. Rather the stressed syllable is elongated.

    This results in the deformation of other vowels, often turning them into mere shwas: . Thus, studentsof English must learn to elongate or stretch the vowels, rather than raise their voices, at the stress point

    of words. For example:

    dare co men /\ tion, re co men daaa tion

    tucon sti /\ tion, con sti tuuu tion

    fri

    instead of re /\ ge ra tor, teach re friii ge ra tor

    a

    pro nun ci /\ tion, pro nun ci aaa tion

    senre pre /\ ta tive, re pre seeen ta tive

    At first, this may sound like encouraging a cowboy style of speech, but given the natural inclination

    of students to shorten and equalize all syllables, we must exaggerate the elongation in practice.

    PRACTICAL TIPS:

    1. Have students color the tongue in the diagrams with a highlighter pen to emphasize its position.2. Have students use a pink or yellow highlighter pen to color code voiced consonants. This mayalso be done with reading passages to visually reinforce the need to voice many final consonants.
