Understanding connected speech. Make and do

UNDERSTANDING CONNECTED SPEECH.MAKE AND DO.

PLAN:

• What does mean understanding connected speech.
• The connected speech of important.
• What are the types of connected speech.

CONNECTED SPEECH

• Teaching pronounciation used to involve little more than identifying and practising the sounds of which a language is composed,that is to say,its phonemes.

• Recently however,there has been a shift of focus towards the other systems operating within phonology,which may be more important in terms.

Connected speech

• How this affects native and non-native speakers as native speakers,we have various devices for dealing with indistinct utterances caused by connected speech.we take account of the context,we assume we hear words with which we are familiar within that context.

Understanding connected speech

• When we speak,we don’t pause between words.Words knock into each other.But when you know how to join words more effectively,you’ll sound much more nativelike and you’ll be abble to speak more quikly too.this is important because the more fluent your speech is the more efficient your communication will be.

Connected speech includes many sub-topics

In this lesson,you’ll learn a bit about five different kinds of connected speech:

1.catenation or linking

2.Instrusion

3.Elision

4.Assimilation

5.geminates.

conclusion

Pronounciation work should be seen as an integral part of what goes on in the classroom.Try not to fall into the text book trap of dividing language up into isolated chunks.One lesson on grammar, the next on vocabulary,then pronunciation and so on.All language,like speech,is connected and students will benefit from learning the weak forms and stress patterns of new words from the start,rather than in a remedial lesson months later.
