Unit 13 introduces the basics of pronunciation and phonology, as well as strategies for teaching them. Correct pronunciation essentially derives from phonology, and the better one's students have a grasp on the rules of intonation, stress, and articulation within the English language, the better their pronunciation will be. Intonations are important to master because they can provide clues as to what the speaker is feeling when they say something, as well as whether or not they expect a response. Stresses can change the meaning of a sentence, or within a single word can give away your lack of fluency. One of the hardest things for learners of the English language, is our weird connection of spelling to pronunciation, there often isn't one, especially compared to the Romance languages, except maybe French with all its extra letters. So you have to be very patient with this aspect.
