Pronunciation and Phonology in the EFL Classroom - International Phonetic Alphabet

 

A better way to go about imparting how to make sounds or what sounds are utilized in a word, is this international phonemic alphabet. Now we have as mentioned one symbol being used in all the words which share that same sound. Now once we get a little bit more familiar with our phonemic alphabet we can also show how different our different sounds can be as in this symbol for ?ooh?, this symbol for ?ow? and this symbol for ?uh?.


Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

Irregular verbs are verbs in past tense that aren't created simply by adding ed. Their are no rules to help students know which are irregular, or how they are formed. All the past perfect verbs represent actions that occurred before other actions in the past. Thus we can say the past perfect is 'the past in the past', or the past viewed from another past viewpoint. In the past perfect continuous structure, the omission of either 'had' and 'been' or the failure to add 'ing' to the main form are the major errors with this structure.
