This unit is rich with very informative insights for a novice to study and learn how to teach pronunciation and phonology which are not an easy task to be delivered. Phonology is defined as the analytical study of English sounds which in fact produces pronunciation that itself carries three sorts of intonation; rise, fall and down depending on the word speakers need to insist on or message they need to convey. There are many techniques of teaching intonation and they include using gestures, humming, singing or even the board. In addition to this, articulation plays an essential part in pronunciation and it varies into the speech organs and place of articulation such as the velar which produces k/g sound, palatal which makes the j sound, alveolar, dental, bilabial and glottal. Moreover, the manner of articulation is also taken into consideration to speak a good language and it contains plosive, fricative, nasal, affricate, approximant and lateral sounds. In order to teach pronunciation of individual sounds, teachers can use their own mouth, visuals, phonemes as well as tongue twisters so as to give the learners a clear understanding of how language should be pronounced.
