PHONOLOGY
Phonology is the study of sound features that
have each words that are used in the language to communicate with others and
the main features are phonemes, word
stress, sentences stress and intonation. We
need to take into account that phoneme is the part smaller of sound to
distinguish the meaning of words within the language, for example, when the
words are plural or singular, so the phonemes in the language are demonstrated
with each symbol such as: /ʃ/,/ä/,/æ/each symbol helps us to differentiate
between two sounds and meaning of the words and have a correct pronunciation
when reading. Furthermore, in the phonemic
chart. DiCanio (2018)
state that phonology occurs naturally, at the time of producing speech,
that is, spontaneously and is demonstrated through the voice force that we use
in each word, where the An increase in intensity in the pronunciation can
indicate the presence of a particular symbol that changes the meaning in
certain words. We have different groups of sounds, for example, in vowels, diphthongs, consonants, voiced
sounds, unvoiced sounds, all the symbols
indicate main stress or secondary stress to pronounce taking
into account the phonetic symbols or phonemic transcriptions that we can find
in the dictionaries, learn about the phonology is very useful because English
is considered a global language, for this reason, we must understand the variety
of sounds and accents that the people have, they can improve it if they make
several activities for example they should repeat models of the new language or when
they develop minimal pairs activities
to understand the stress and intonation.
The main purpose of phonology in English language learning could be a help for improving pronunciation since speaking is one of the most challenging skills to develop in our educational context. I would apply an activity focus on grouping work in which students should select 4 o 5 phonemic elements, so they must find out the correct sounds and clear examples to show understanding. Every member of the group should exchange their acquired knowledge with other groups and learn in the same way from their classmates.
A second activity related to the last one is focused on
practicing. As a teacher, I would provide an interactive tool of the phonemic
chart” students will have the opportunity to learn all the sounds and examples
to notice how it works using language. In the end, students will be able to
differentiate sounds and improve their pronunciation skills.
