With the myriad of phonetic rules and accents in the English language, it\u2019s no surprise that learners have questions like, \u201cHow do the sounds of letters s <\/em>and z<\/em> differ?\u201d or \u201cWhy is the letter b<\/em> silent in climb<\/em> and tomb<\/em>?\u201d Confounding the problem, there hasn\u2019t previously been much pronunciation instructional support for teachers nor have there been TEFL courses<\/a> dedicated to this topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

To remedy this, Bridge<\/a> has developed a Micro-credential course in Teaching English Pronunciation<\/a>. The course provides targeted training to help teachers understand the techniques they can use to help students articulate words and sentences correctly and confidently. The course also covers common struggles, like those outlined below, that students and educators face when studying and teaching English pronunciation and how to overcome these challenges. Here\u2019s a sneak peek at some of the challenges and solutions outlined in the course.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Speaking like a native English speaker<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a common misconception among many ESL learners that they should speak with an American, British, or other specific type of English accent (or else talk like their favorite actor) in order to be considered fluent or have an advanced level in the language. However, by making a huge effort to lose one\u2019s accent, learners may end up feeling frustrated and intimidated when they speak with native English speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s almost impossible for non-native English speakers to eliminate their accent completely, reducing it is more doable. Especially if a student\u2019s accent makes it hard to understood him or her, they can work towards enunciating their words neutrally. As you teach English pronunciation, remind students that speaking in English with the accent from their first language will not necessarily be a setback for communicating. In addition, their unique accents will always be part of their cultural identity, which they should be proud of!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Mouth positioning<\/span><\/h2>\n

From saying words with th<\/em> to different diphthongs, ESL learners may find it tricky to articulate certain sounds simply because they don\u2019t exist in their native language. Thai speakers, for instance, struggle with pronouncing consonant clusters like dr<\/em> and sm<\/em>. Meanwhile, Portuguese speakers pronounce the letter r<\/em> differently. As a result, they struggle with finding the right mouth positions to make these sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can introduce your students to new phonetic sounds by using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) chart<\/a> and showing how the mouth, tongue, teeth, and other speech organs work to produce each sound. For instance, you can show them how you expel air every time you make voiceless sounds like with f<\/em> and s<\/em>. Then, you can have them repeat the sounds through pronunciation drills or even fun activities like tongue twisters!<\/span><\/span> <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.oksensay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bridge-Picture2.jpg” title_text=”Bridge Picture2″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”||21px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

3. Using correct sentence stress and intonation<\/span><\/h2>\n

Learning which words to emphasize and where your voice rises and falls in a phrase or sentence can be a challenge to students, especially if the intonation in their mother tongue differs a lot. The Spanish language, for example, doesn\u2019t have as many intonation variations as English does. Because of this, learners may encounter problems getting their message across.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many ways teachers can help students improve their sentence stress and intonation. For example, you can use Total Physical Response (TPR) techniques, which use physical motions alongside speech, to guide learners while speaking. Activities like animated texts, storytelling, and roleplays can also get them used to shifting intonations and expressing emotions in English better.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Spelling difficulties<\/span><\/h2>\n

Why can\u2019t we use the same phoneme for hear<\/em> and steak<\/em>? Why do flower<\/em> and flour<\/em> sound the same?<\/span><\/p>\n

The English language is full of words where spelling and pronunciation don\u2019t match, and this often stumps learners who are used to words that are pronounced how they\u2019re spelled. Teachers, meanwhile, find themselves going to great lengths just to explain pronunciation rules, exceptions, and reasons why certain words are pronounced in a certain way.<\/span><\/p>\n

One way to help your students understand the variations in English sounds is by making them understand how words are constructed with syllables, root words, and elements \u2013 like prefixes and suffixes \u2013 that transform words. As you teach these, make sure to provide plenty of examples too! Activities with minimal pairs or flashcards can also help students assimilate these new sounds and even learn new vocabulary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the prospect of teaching pronunciation intimidate you! Learn the best techniques for teaching this subject in Bridge\u2019s Micro-credential course in Teaching English Pronunciation.<\/em><\/a> <\/span> <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.oksensay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bridge-Picture3.jpg” title_text=”Bridge Picture3″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

5. Repeating pronunciation errors<\/span><\/h2>\n

So, you\u2019ve done all of the phonetic drills and corrected your students\u2019 pronunciation mistakes. Yet, they mispronounce the same words during a reading activity \u2013 oh no! While it\u2019s okay to make occassional pronunciation slipups while speaking in English, repeating the same errors over and over could mean that something can be improved either with their learning process or your error correction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even before you start your course, make it a point to assess your students. Find out what their motivations are for learning English, what their biggest struggles are, and which study techniques usually work for them. You will also discover these along the way, so don\u2019t be afraid to change your teaching strategies if you need to.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also encourage students to practice pronunciation at home through online apps. The Sensay app, for instance, allows teachers to create speaking exercises for their students right on the platform. Then, students can record their voice through the app so that they and their teacher can assess the provided results.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Feeling overwhelmed by too much information<\/span><\/h2>\n

After learning all of the vowel sounds, silent letters, how to pronounce the schwa<\/em> sound, and the many other English pronunciation rules, it\u2019s not uncommon for students to feel overwhelmed with too much information. After all, there are just a lot of rules to remember, especially when you start getting into more complex words and sentences!<\/span><\/p>\n

Consistently jog your learner\u2019s memory on the pronunciation rules they\u2019ve previously practiced through activities that involve reading aloud or singing songs. Additionally, advise students to write down new words and how to say them just in case they forget how they\u2019re pronounced in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.oksensay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bridge-Picture4.jpg” title_text=”Bridge Picture4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Speaking speed<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even with the correct pronunciation of words, English students may either speak too slowly because they\u2019re conscientious of making mistakes or too quickly because they\u2019re nervous or desire to sound more fluent. While slowing down their speech may hamper overall communication, speeding up too much may make them mispronounce words.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can help dispel your students\u2019 jitters by pointing out that speaking clearly should be their ultimate goal. Assigning tasks that will get them talking, like class presentations, are also useful for developing a good speaking pace. Aside from these, encourage them to learn from the best speakers. Have them watch news reports or TED Talks so they can get an idea of what comprehensible speech sounds like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pronunciation is essential in the English language because it goes hand in hand with communication. Taking the Bridge Micro-credential course in Teaching English Pronunciation<\/a> can help you master the most effective ways to teach pronunciation and the right tools to use to feel empowered when helping students to learn the art of articulating English words and to feel confident while speaking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered about the difference between accent and pronunciation? In this short article, we'll talk about the distinction between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a linguistic point of view, the term accent refers to only the phonetic aspects of a dialect (Rogers, 2013). Taking English as an example, due to historical reasons, there is certainly considerable variation in the local English accents spoken in the north and south of the UK. Not to mention all the other \u201cEnglishes\u201d spoken in the other continents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it simply, pronunciation is the way we pronounce each syllable of a word, which can be accurate or not e.g. pronouncing \u201cdawn\u201d for \u201cdown\u201d is wrong. Accent is the language rhythm and melody, which distinguishes regional variations of the same language. For example, if we hear Indian English, we are very likely to understand what is being said, as pronunciation is normally standard, but at the same time, we are able to tell the speaker\u2019s origins. As accent is more tied to culture, it is harder to change. The good news is, you don\u2019t need to change it! Instead, focusing on improving pronunciation will lead you to much greater achievements in your language learning journey, while keeping yourself natural and proud of your own origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
