Language and its Teaching III
What does it involve?
•Phonology , the sounds of the language
•Stress and rhythm
•Intonation
Sounds • IPA: symbols for all the sounds in all the
languages
• Phoneme: a sound that is conventionally used to distinguish meaning in a particular language
son– sun - sin
• Allophones: variation of a phoneme depending on the context
▫Leaf - Feel
Difficulty for Spanish speakers…
SPANISH
• poder bajar [po+ˈðe+ɾ βaˈxaɾ],• el delfín [e+l de+lˈfin]
• Alveolar trill [r] and the alveolar tap [ɾ] are in phonemic contrast word-internally between vowels carro 'car' [r]
caro 'expensive‘[ɾ]
• In final position the rothic will usually be [ɾ]
GERMAN

Rhythm and stress
English is a very rhythmical language.
The two components of the system which have the greatest influence on rhythm are:
• sentence stress and
•the various features of connected speech
Teachers should:• Provide natural models of new target language
before introducing the written form.• Use natural language themselves in the
classroom.• Encourage learners to listen carefully to
authentic speech.• Teach recognition before production.• Integrate rhythm and other aspects of
phonology into grammar, vocabulary and functional language lessons as well as listening and speaking activities.
Intonation
•The systematic rise and fall in the pitch of the voice during speech (the way that the pitch of the voice goes up and down during speech).

INTONATION LANGUAGE(shows grammar, attitude and so

TONE LANGUAGE (intonation shows difference in
lexical meaning)
Teaching pronunciation
•Direct method: phonetic scripts – transcriptions
Mainstream: symbols as a resource
•Audiolingualism: minimal pairsPronunciation ͢͢͢͢ set of habits

Phoneme Learning
1) Presystemic : One word
2) Transfer: Equivalence- Variants
3) Approximative: Restructure
Unique and temporary system: INTERLANGUAGE
Phonemes: Crucial features Fortis / Lenis
Voice /k-t/ /g-d/ /p-b/
Aspiration
“Getting the distinctive features right or wrong can affect not just one phoneme but many”
General ideas about phonology and learning
I. L1 AND TRANSFER
II. L2 AND UNIVERSAL PROCESS OF ACQUISITION
L1 and Transfer
The first language has neither of the contrasting L2 sounds
The second language has one of the L2 sounds
The second language has both sounds as alophones of the same phoneme
L2 and universal process of aqcuisitionLearning pronunciation depends on...
