This unit covered the phonology of English speech, particularly intonation and stress and how intonation patterns and placement or absence of stress is used to convey meaning, and techniques for teaching and practising these parts of English speech. The unit also dealt with the expression of sounds in English speech with the phonemic alphabet, and categorised each sound by where and how it is articulated. Seeing the pronunciation and phonology of speech detailed out in text gave me a better understanding of English speech and helped me think of how better to teach my students how to produce more natural-sounding English.
