Phonology

 

 

Letters & Words

This sub-section is divided into tabs or units covering particular issues in phonology that English language learners commonly face concerning ways of pronouncing particular sounds, endings or articles. Bridging spelling and pronunciation, it provides you with tables and tips to help you on those issues.

This sub-section is also divided into several tabs which provide you with rules or tips on how certain words are stressed.

Rhythm & Flow

This sub-section, also divided into several tabs, will help you understand why English speakers pronounce whole sentences the way they do. It provides you with explanations on what happens to words in a spoken sentence (connected speech) in order to help you achieve rhythm and flow.

Going Further

Please note that the above sub-sections each have a final tab called "Going Further" with advice on related resources (available online or at ELE on campus) which you can go to if you want to study further. Below, for instance, are links to two pages on pronunciation which you might want to have a quick look at later:
