[Important To Note] Phonemic awareness is not phonics. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes--in spoken words. Before children learn to read print, they need to become more aware of how the sounds in words work. They must understand that words are made up of speech sounds, or phonemes (the smallest parts of sound in a spoken word that make a difference in a word's meaning).

Please do not pay attention to the voiced [p,t,k] sounds, as we know these sounds are aspirated. 


Blessings.

IPA Consonant Sounds in English

IPA vowel sound in English

A video from YouTube on the British Consonants and vowel sounds in English

Hello everyone, have fun learning.

Greeting everyone,

Sorry for the delay in posting my assignment. The attached link is a video posted on youtube by the English Language Club about diphthongs. Pleasant viewing!

Monophthongs, Diphthongs, Triphthongs

http://www.siff.us.es/fil/publicaciones/apuntes/teresals/apartado%204-0.pdf

Hello Again,

The link should take you to an article providing details on the monophthong, dipththong and triphthong. It appears to be a portion of a research on English Vowels and the link is all the information I garnered regarding the source. It makes an interesting read however, it's relatively lengthy, but once you get into it ends before you know. 

Also you may refer to the course manual pages 17-24. it too provide details on the vowel sounds, the places of articulation and the IPA symbols.

See you all tomorrow and please don't forget to practice for the test. I'm sure Mrs. Porter-Jones will be surprised by our much improved voice and speech tomorrow. Let's show her just how confident we can be. Oh wait, she can view this post right...(covers face)  

Vowel Sound - Diphthong

Hello Everyone:

 I trust you all had a productive week.

I found a useful Youtube video on Diphthongs. It defines the diphthong, provides sound and word examples for each diphthong. It makes good practice. Also pay attention to her mouth in sounding each diphthong, especially as it appears in a word. I hope you find it as useful as I did.

Pure vowels, diphthongs and triphthongs

This is a combination of the three vowel sounds, monophthongs (pure vowel), diphthongs and triphthongs.



A Triphthong has three vowel sounds which are a combination of diphthongs and schwa as demonstrated in the video.

Vowel Sounds Part 1: Monophthongs

Here is a video on monophthongs vowel sounds.



A Monophthong is a vowel with a single sound. In the spoken English  language a vowel sound can either be long or short, as demonstrated in the video.

The link above demonstrates the long a: sound as in "arm"



Happy listening!

Diphthongs (double vowel sounds)

Here is a second video on Diphthongs. However, this gives a practical example of the mouth formation when pronouncing Diphthongs.

I have also attached the links above for you to copy and paste. The first link demonstrate Diphthongs [ai]  as in :"buy", While the second demonstrates the various vowel sounds  and words you can practice.

What is a Diphthong?

Here is a short video that gives a brief definition and history on the vowel sound Diphthong.



The video states that Diphthong is a two vowel sound in the same syllable. Diphthongs can be found in every word we speak. The term Diphthong is originated from Greek.
