GUIDELINES FOR TEACHING PHONOLOGY
• There is a strong connection between phonology, emotion and meaning.
• Even simple words and phrases can carry different meanings depending on pronunciation and context; therefore context should be explored while teaching phonetics.
• There are different phonological features that can say a lot about a speaker as a person and as a social being.
• Particular attention should be paid to the areas of possible confusion resulting from mispronunciation.
• Relations between phonology and meaning should be explored in teaching listening as well as speaking.
• Awareness of a wide range of regional and social accents makes students’ speech more flexible and increases their ability to communicate with other speakers of English.
