The diphthongs:the closing diphthongs, the centering diphthongs;
The consonants:the plosive consonants, t he frica4ive consonants, t he affricate consonants, the nasal consonants, the lateral consonants, the semi-vowels.
Ⅲ The pure vowels:
Vowels are sounds in which there is no obstruction to the flow of air as it passes
from the larynx to the lips. There are 20 vowels in English, among which 12 are pure
vowels and 8 are diphthongs. The English pure vowels can be classified according to
1)the height of the raised part of the tongue;
2)the part of the tongue raised, and
3)the position of the lips, i.e. whether they are rounded or unrounded.
ⅰ The Front V owels:
There are four front vowels in English. When they are pronounced, the tongue
body is shifted forward, causing the vowels to be produced in the front of the mouth.
In addition, the front vowels may be subdivided into those that are high (or close),
middle and low (or open). For the two vowels in the high front space, the tongue is
close to the hard palate. Likewise, for the low vowel, the tongue is nearly flat and the
lower jaw more open than for the other front vowels.
/i:/ & / i /,
/i:/ is a very common sound in the world's languages. It is made by raising the
body of the tongue from its rest position and shifting it forward. The / i / sound is
made by lowering the tongue slightly from the high-front position for /i:/. Besides,
/i:/ is a much more tense sound than / i /. The fact that English has these two high
front vowels, differentiated by muscle tension in the root of the tongue, sets it apart
from Chinese and many languages of the world. Both /i:/ and / i / can occur in initial, medial, and final position in words.
Very little difficulty should be encountered by the Chinese learners in the pronunciation of /i:/, but / i / is a problem sound. It is easy for the learners to detect
the difference in length. What counts here, however, is the difference in quality. It is therefore important to point out the fact that to pronounce a correct / i /, you need to
1)lower you tongue a little bit from the position for /i:/, and
2)make it a lax sound instead of a tense sound like /i:/.
The importance of correct pronunciation of / i / lies in the fact that it is the second most frequent vowel in English.
/e/ & / ? /
/e/ is also an English vowel with high frequency of occurrence. The tongue body is shifted forward in the mid-plane. /?/ is produced by shifting the body of the tongue forward from its relaxed state, and lowering it from the position for /e/. It is the lowest of the front vowels. /e/ and /? / do not occur in final position in English words.
/e/ and /? / are not really problem sounds for the Chinese learners, but many of them fail to make a clear distinction between the two in their speech. The difficulty is that they have to make the clear distinction consistent.
ⅱ The Central V owels:
There are three central vowels in English: /з:/, / ?/and /Λ/. When they are pronounced, they tend to be produced at a point midway between the front and back vowels and between the high and low vowels.
/з:/ & /?/
/з:/ and / ? / are central vowels. /з:/ is made with the tongue in the approximate middle of the mouth. It occurs only in stressed syllables. / ? / is also called a schwa. It is made similarly to /з:/, but with less tension. / ? / is the most frequently used vowel in English. Both /з:/ and / ? / may occur in all three word positions.
Most learners do not have problems in the pronunciation of /з:/ and / ? /, still we need to give special attention to the schwa. The problem with the schwa may not generally be in production, but in knowing when to use the sound.
/ Λ /
/ Λ/ is made with the tongue in the approximate middle of the mouth, perhaps shifted back slightly. It is lower than the other central vowels /з:/ and / ?/. The lip position is neutral.
ⅲ The Back V owels:
There are five back vowels in English. The back vowels are produced by shifting the body of the tongue back from its central position. The tip of the tongue remains at the level of the lower teeth. The front and back vowels have several features in common as well as some differences. Unlike the front vowels that are made with a fairly neutral lip posture, four of the back vowels are rounded. The back vowels may also be subdivided into those that are high (/u:/ and /u/), mid (/?: / and / ?/), and low (/ a:/).
/u:/ and /u/
/u:/ and /u/ are both high, back, rounded vowels. The /u:/ marks the highest boundary for the back vowels, as /i:/ does for the front vowels. Therefore, the tongue is retracted from its rest position and raised toward the soft palate. Along with /u:/, /u/ completes the vowels in the high back space on the vowels chart. Its corresponding front vowel is / i /. When making the sound, the tongue is retracted as for /u:/ but not
elevated to the same extent. In addition, the /u/ vowel is not made with as much tension in the root of the tongue as /u:/. The same tense/lax contrast is also seen for /i:/ and / i /. This sound is not found very frequently as a phoneme in the languages of the world, certainly not in Chinese Putonghua. In English, it is not very common despite the fact that it appears in some frequently used words, such as
should, good, and book.
/u:/ occurs at all the three positions of a word while /u/ occurs only in the middle position of a word, like book and hook. To ensure correct pronunciation, it is important to make the following distinction between /u:/ and /u/:
1./u:/ is the highest back vowel, so the raised part of the tongue for /u:/ is higher than
that for /u/;
2.the part of the tongue raised for /u/ is not as back as that for /u:/;
3./u:/ has quite strong lip rounding while the lips are only slightly rounded for /u/.
/ ? :/ & / ?/
/ ?: / is a mid-back vowel. For its production, the tongue is retracted and almost
flat in the mouth. The vowel is almost fully back and has quite strong lip-rounding. /?/
is a low vowel. The lips are slightly rounded. / ?/ is a difficult vowel for the Chinese learners. Many of them use a shortened version of / ?: / as its substitution. To ensure correct pronunciation, it is important to make the following distinction between these two vowels:
1. / ?/ is a low vowel while / ?: / is a mid vowel, so the mouth is more open for / ?/,
2. / ?:/ has quite strong lip rounding while the lips are only slightly rounded for / ?/.
/a:/
The /a:/ is made by lowering and flattening the tongue in the oral cavity. It is a
low vowel, but not as back as other back vowels in English.
Ⅳ The diphthongs:
There are eight diphthongs (also gliding vowels) in English. Diphthongs are sounds which consist of a movement of glide from one vowel to another. Perhaps the most important thing to remember about all the diphthongs is that the first part is much longer and stronger than the second part.
The closing diphthongs have the characteristic that they all end with a glide towards a closer vowel. Because the second part of the diphthong is weak, they often do not reach a position that could be called close. The centring diphthongs all glide towards the [? ] (schwa) vowel, as the symbols indicate.
Most Chinese EFL learners have little problem with most of the diphthongs, but the following two are particularly important to ensure correct pronunciation.
a. Make sure that you have a correct starting point.
b. Make sure that the diphthongs end with a glide.
* The Triphthongs:
a monosyllabic vowel combination involving a quick but smooth movement of the articulator from one vowel quality to another that passes over a third.
Ⅴ The Rules of Reading of English Vowel Letters
ⅰ relative concepts
Syllables: A syllable is a word part and the basic unit of English rhythm. English words can have one, two, three or even more syllables. (a letter or a
combination of letters uttered together, or at a single effort or inpulse of the
voice.)
Stressed Syllables:Stressed syllables are those that are marked in the dictionary as stressed.( Stressed syllables in English are usually longer, louder,
and higher in pitch.)
* Stressed syllables are strong syllables. Unstressed syllables are weak syllables.
Stressed syllables:
-are long
-have a pitch change
-have full vowel sounds.
Unstressed syllables:
-are short
-often have a reduced vowel sound.
Open Syllables: A syllable ending in a vowel sound.(also called free syllables). It
contains the absolute open syllables(in a syllable, nothing comes
after the vowel letter) & the relative open syllables(in a syllable,
the vowel letter is followed by a consonant letter and a mute vowel
letter).
Closed Syllables: A syllable ending in a consonant. (also called checked syllables) Stressed Closed Syllables:in a monosyllabic word, the vowel letter is followed by
one or more consonant letters.(short vowel)
ⅱ The length of the vowels
1.Long vowels and diphthongs are longer in stressed syllables than when followed
by an unstressed syllable or syllables.
eg. the vowel /?:/ is longer in call /k?: l/ than in calling /k?: li?/, the vowel /au/ in
house /haus/ is longer than in houses /'hauziz/.
2.Long vowels and diphthongs are longer in stressed s yllables than in unstressed
syllables:
eg.the /?:/ in record /ri'k?:d/ is longer than the /?:/ in record/'r?k?:d/. Similarly
the /ai/ in idle /'aidl/ is longer than the /ai/ in idea/ai'di?/.
3.Short vowels are longer before voiced consonants than before voiceless
consonants.
eg.the /i/ in pig /pig/ is longer than in pick /pik/.
4.Short vowels /?/, /i/ are longer and more distinct in an unstressed ending syllable
than they are at the beginning of a word or in the middle of an unstressed syllable. eg.the /?/ in better/'bet?/ is longer and more distinct than it is in a long/?'l??/ or in
forget/f?'get/. Similarly the /i/ in happy/'h?pi/ is longer and more distinct
than it is in exam /ig'z?m/ or in college.
5.The short vowel /?/ is quite long when followed by voiced consonants, especially
, bad, sad, glad, etc. and in some nouns, man, bag, in the adjectives ending in “ad”
jam, etc. Back, that at the end of a sentence are often pronounced with long /?/.
Ⅵ The Consonants:
Consonants: a speech sound made by completely or partly stopping the flow of air being breathed out through the mouth.
ⅰ The Plosive Consonants
The plosive (stop) consonants are made by completely stopping the airflow at some point in the mouth and then, for most productions, releasing it into the sound that follows.
There are six plosive consonants in English: /p/ and /b/ are formed by the lips, /t/ and /d/ are made on the gum ridge behind the upper teeth, and /k/ and /g/ occur at the back of the mouth where the tongue makes a weal with the soft palate. /p/, /t/, /k/ are voiceless stops as they are not accompanied by vibration from the larynx, while /b/,
/d/, /g/ are the voiced stops.
/p/ and /b/
You pronounce the /p/ and /b/ by stopping the airstream with you lips, building
up pressure and suddenly releasing the air. They can be used at the beginning, middle and end of words.
/t/ and /d/
The /t/ sound is one of the most frequent in English and occur in all three positions at the word level. It has many variations and is a very interesting and productive sound in the language. /d/ is not as frequent in English nor does it have the number of varieties that /t/ has. You pronounce them by blocking the airstream with the tongue and upper gum ridge, building up air pressure and suddenly releasing it.
/k/ and /g/
You produce /k/ and /g/ by blocking the breath-stream with the back of the tongue and soft palate, building up the pressure, and suddenly releasing it. The "hard-c", as in cat, and the letter "k" account for most of the spellings of /k/, but there is also a silent-k in words such as k now and knight. The spelling of /g/ is consistent in English, although there is a silent version in words such as gnash and gnat. Both /k/ and /g/ can occur at the beginning, middle, and end of words in English.
*The English stops do not generally cause an intelligibility problem among the Chinese EFL learners but some learners may devoice final position voiced stops so that tab may be pronounced as t ap, code as coat and /li:/ as /li:k/. Lengthening the vowel before the voiced stops will aid in the perception of a voiced final stop. /i:/ in need, for example, is usually a little bit longer than /i:/ in neat when they are in
similar phonetic contexts. Another difficulty with the Chinese EFL learners is the pronunciation of the stops in consonant clusters.
ⅱ The Fricative Consonants
If the stops completely block the airstream for a time in the pronunciation, the fricatives only partially block it, thus causing the friction-like noise characteristic of these sounds. There are ten fricative consonants, forming the largest set of consonants in English.
/f/ and /v/
/f/ and /v/ are labio-dental sounds. /f/ is voiceless and /v/ is voiced. They are fricative sounds that you produce by forcing the breathstream b etween you upper teeth and lower lip. They can be used at the beginning, middle and end of words.
/f/ is not a problem sound for most of the students but /v/ may sometimes cause problems. It may substitute for another bilabial such as /w/, or a bilabial /b/ may be substituted for /v/. There is also a tendency to devoice /v/, especially at the ends of words.
/ ? / and/ e /
/ ?/ and / e/ are interdental sounds. They are fricatives that you produce by
/?/ is voiceless and / e/ squeezing the breath stream between your tongue and teeth.
is voiced. These sounds tend to appear relatively late in the speech of children and cause considerable stress for both native and non-native speakers of English. Although the spelling seems to be highly consistent in English, the fact is that the "th" combination is used for both / ? / and / e /. They can be used at the beginning, middle and end of words.
The problem with /?/ are many and varied. A dentalized [t] occurs when there is insufficient breath support. With a /f/ or /s/ substitution, the problem is not with airflow but with placement. This sound will require considerable effort to stabilize in
all contexts. The problem with /e/is quite similar. With insufficient airflow, a dentalized [d] will occur. Placement difficulties result in a /v/ or /z/ substitution. Devoicing may also be a common problem since English orthography uses the letters "th" for both / ? / and / e /. The following steps are useful in the pronunciation drill
for these two consonants:
1.Look in a mirror and say the [? ] sound.
2.Make sure you can see the edge of your tongue protruding between your
teeth. Say [? ] again.
3.Say the [? ] sound over and over again. Don't move your tongue between
sounds.
/s/ and /z/
/s/ and /z/ are alveolar sounds. They are fricatives that you produce by forcing air between your tongue and the upper or lower front teeth. /s/ is voiceless and /z/ is voiced. /s/ is one of the most useful sounds in English because i t has an important grammatical function in forming possessives (Kate's), third person singular, present tense verbs (sits), and plurals (seats). Although /z/ is not as frequent in English speech as /s/, it performs similar grammatical functions in marking possessive (Susan's), third
person singular, present tense verbs (runs), and plurals (dogs). Both /s/ and /z/ have
been ranked as the most troublesome sounds in English, but it is rarely a serious
problem for the Chinese EFL learners once their grammatical roles are mastered.
They can be used at the beginning, middle and end of words.
With /s/ and /z/, the main problem comes from the omissions, which may result
from grammatical deficiencies (plural, possessive, a nd so on) or from a failure to pronounce the ends of words. The devoicing of final position /z/ may be helped by lengthening the preceding vowel. In the word prize, for example, many speakers of
English devoice the final /z/ but lengthen the diphthong.
/ ∫ / and / 3 /
/∫/ and /3/ are lingua-palatal fricatives. You produce them very much like the /s/
and /z/, except the tongue is farther back and the lips are rounded. /∫/ is voiceless and
/3/ is voiced. /∫/ is not a particularly common sound in English or the languages of the
world, but can be learned quite easily. /3/ is the least frequent of the consonants in
English and is not common in the world's language. /∫/ can be used in initial, medial,
and final positions in words, but /3/ is not found in word-initial position in English
words.
With /∫/ and /3/, lip rounding is very important. For example, you can get /∫/ by
making /s/ first, then move the tongue body a little backward, then say it again with
rounded lips.
/h/
/h/ is a voiceless glottal fricative. It is simply a stream of air from the larynx
directed through the open mouth. It is not found in word-final position in English
words.
/r/
/r/ is the other approximant besides /j/ and /w/ in English. The important thing
about the articulation of /r/ is that the tip of the tongue approaches the alveolar area in approximately the way it would for a /t/ or /d/, but never actually makes contact with
any part of the roof of the mouth. During the pronunciation, the tongue is in fact
usually slightly curled backwards with the tip raised.
/r/ is a difficult sound for many Chinese EFL learners. The difficulties mainly
) 日, as a
come in two ways. Some use the (r) sound in Chinese Putonghua, such as (rìsubstitution, which sounds more like a fricative than an approximant. The substitution
of a flap-r, which sounds more like a /l/ than /r/, is also common among the learners. Experience show that it is helpful to stress the necessity of the slight lip-rounding in
the pronunciation of the sound.
ⅲ The Affricate Consonants
/t∫/ and /d3/ are affricate sounds, which you produce by blocking off the
breath-stream between the tongue and gum ridge, for a stop and a fricative. The term affricate means "blend", in this case, consisting of a stop and a fricative. /t∫/ and /d3/
are the two English affricates and they differ primarily in terms of voicing.
ⅳ The Nasal Consonants
Like the stops, the nasals are all made by closing the vocal tract at some point in the mouth. Unlike the stops or any other sounds in the language, there is an opening into the nasal cavity in the pronunciation so that the sound can be resonated through the nose. The nasal consonants are /m/, /n/, and /
? /.
/m/, /n/ & /?/
/m/ and /n/ are simple, straight-forward consonants: the /m/ occurs at the front of the mouth and is grouped with the labials, the /n/ is produced on the upper gum ridge and is alveolar. The place of articulation of / ? / is the same as that of /k/ and /g/. It is made with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate. If we compare nasals with stops, fricatives and affricates, we will find that the nasals present quite a different picture in that they have some vowel-like qualities: they can be syllabic. Both /m/ and /n/ can occur in initial, medial, and final position in words. / ?/, however, never occurs in word-initial position.
Most Chinese EFL learners have no problems with /m/ and / ? /. For /n/, however, it is necessary to check for a /l/ substitution because in some Chinese dialects, [n] and [l] serve as free variants.
ⅴ The Lateral Consonants
/l/
The fact that the /l/ phoneme is typically produced with potential air flow around one or both sides of the tongue makes it unique among English speech sounds. It is also highly variable in terms of its articulation. Several important variations exist. In pronunciation, you produce it by dropping the sides of the tongue and allowing air to escape around the sides.
/l/ is also one of the English speech sounds that often causes trouble for Chinese learners. Check for the typical substitution of /r/ or /n/. Another important fact about
/l/ is the difference between the two distinctive allophones: clear-l and dark-l.
ⅵ The Semi-vowels
/w/ and /j/
/w/ and /j/ are similar in several ways. First, they are closely related to a vowel sound: /j/ is similar to the vowel /i:/ and /w/ is very much like the vowel /u:/. Because
of this, they are also called semivowels. Secondly, neither /j/ or /w/ will ever occur in word-final position in English. Thirdly, they are both voiced consonants. In pronunciation, for /j/ the lips are relaxed and the tongue is in the high front space; for /w/ the lips are rounded and the tongue is in the high back space. T hen there is a movement away from these positions to whatever sound which follows. The more modern term for /j/ and /w/ is approximant, which is an articulation in which the articulators approach each other but do not get sufficiently close to each other to produce a "complete" consonant such as a plosive, nasal or fricative.
/j/ and /w/ are not problem sounds for most Chinese EFL learners except it is necessary to emphasize the fact that the pronunciation of /w/ requires considerable lip rounding.

小学英语语音课教学案例 【案例背景】： 一、学情分析 本节课的授课对象是小学四年级学生。四年级学生经过近两年的英语学习，有了简单的英语基础知识和听说读写的能力；同时，学生对英语学习有着较浓厚的兴趣，喜欢表达自己的观点，也具备初步的自主、合作、探究能力。 二、教学内容 本课是安徽外研社小学英语Book4 Unit5 Lesson5.是一节单独的语音课。本节课的重点是启发学生通过仔细听读单词，自己区别出oo字母组合的不同发音，让学生获得成功感，进而提升自主学习的能力。 三、教学目标 1.知识目标：能够听懂，读懂音标[u]和[u]及例词food, spoon, zoo, boots,book,cook,look,good 2.能力目标： （1）引导学生积极参加小组活动，促进他们养成动脑、动口和动手的好习惯，初步形成主动学习的意识。 （2）培养学生的分析能力。 3.情感目标： （1）进一步提高学生对英语的学习热情及学习兴趣。 （2）鼓励学生积极主动参与课堂活动，大胆开口，主动模仿。 四、教学过程： Step1. Warming up 1、Greeting each other。
2、Sing a s ong“Who’s she?” Step2. Presentation Show “oo” on the blackboard. What does the “oo” sound like in the word? 播放录音，学生听。 1.Can you find the difference? 请学生试着说出含有oo 字母组合的单词的不同之 处。 2.Write two “oo”on the blackboard. List two lines of words. 将单词区分呈现，并标出不同的音标。并请学生朗读。 Step3.Practice 1.Look，Write，Match 2.Read.Say.将所学单词融合在一段短文中，可以使知识更加系统，简单，生动。而 且通过这样的训练，真正将语音落到实处。 Step4.Extension 请学生们想一想其他的含有oo字母组合的单词，并大声朗读 Play a game: Find your families.教学方法：小组活动加TPR教学法 【案例分析】： 语言知识和语言技能是综合运用能力的基础，而学好语音又是掌握语言知识和语言技能的垫脚石。语言学家和心理学家的发现表明，语言的学习不仅对外语学习者口语的提高至关重要，也直接影响其听力水平。如果学生发音不准，即使他听到这个单词也很难辨认出，更谈不上用英语交流了。 学习国际音标的主要目的是培养学生的拼读能力。单纯的语音学习确实比较单调乏味，但只要我们多花点心思，在教法上多做文章，乏味的音标教学一样会变得趣味黯然。例如，小组活动，游戏教学，TPR教学方法都有利于提高学生学习的兴趣和效果。因此，我们英语教师在语音教学应不断地实践总结适合小学生的趣味活泼的教学方式。另外，教学在课堂上要善于调动学生的学习积极性，发挥学生的主观能动性。只有学生的内在动机被激发了，各项活动才能有效地发挥作用。

“低段学生发音、重音、语调和节奏能力培养”的教学解决策略 石榴街道中心小学冒园园《英语课程标准》中指出学生在英语基础教育阶段应该学习和掌握包括语音、词汇、语法、功能和话题等五个方面的基础知识。语言有三大要素语音、词汇和语法，其中语音是最基本的因素。语音是学好语言的基础，语音教学是语言教学的重要内容之一。自然规范的语音、语调将为有效的口语交际打下良好的基础。在小学英语教学中，教师应特别重视语音教学。语音教学的目的就是要教会学生正确、流利的发音，以达到能正确地听懂别人的谈话和通过说来表情达意，进而促进读和写的能力的发展。 我在小学英语教学实践中发现，语音教学的效果不尽如人意。一些学生没有学好语音，不会诵读，也就难以朗读单词和句子。学生学习英语出现两极分化、掉队，其中一个重要原因就是学生未学好语音，没有过好语音关。因为学生语音未学好，发音不准，听音能力差，不仅学不会口语，甚至连听课、记单词、读句子都有困难，从而对英语学习不感兴趣，产生畏难情绪，甚至放弃学习，丧失学习英语的兴趣和信心。如何提高语音教学的成效，让学生听得懂、说得出、用得好呢?对于小学英语教学来说，课堂是教学的主阵地，帮助学生形成有效的英语语音学习策略是每位英语教师的职责，也是新课程标准所制定的学习目标之一。教师应根据新课程标准中的二级语音学习目标和学习策略目标来研究如何搞好语音教学以及如何引导学生形成有效的语音学习策略，使其掌握正确的发音要领，养成正确的发音习惯，学会规范的发音，发展自主学习语言的能力。 以下是我在小学英语课程教学中采用的一些语音教学方法： 1、培养意识。 培养学生的语音意识是帮助学生形成有效的语音学习策略的首要条件。小学生在学习英语时，已经掌握了汉语的语音，形成了汉语语音的习惯，当他们初学英语语音时往往按汉语的发音去听和发出英语语音。这时，教师在教学过程中就要有意识地分析比较，培养他们英语语音的意识，使他们将自己的发音纳入英语语音系统，从而正确地感知和复现外语语音。例如，有位学生在初学英语时用汉字注单词的音，我发现这一情况后没有立即在课堂上当着全班学生的面批评他，(怕产生负面影响，引起其他同学的效仿)，而是在课后用正确的语音语调和他用汉字注的音分别把单词读了一遍，他听了以后自己先笑了起来(因为听起来很怪)，立刻用橡皮把汉字擦去了。从那以后他课上、课下总是在认真地听、努力地记，最终模仿出了一口纯正的语音语调。 2、模仿练习。 新课程标准指出在英语教学起始阶段，语音教学主要应通过模仿来进行，教师应提供大量听音、模仿和实践的机会，帮助学生养成良好的发音习惯。学习英语发音，最基本、最有效的方法是模仿。特别是小学生，他们年龄小，模仿能力强，你怎么教，他就怎么学，不需要作任何讲解。模仿练习一般分三个步骤。 ①听音。听音是学习语音的第一步。应该让学生多听音，教师何以提供原声语音资料，使他们接触和学习地道的发音。当然课堂上听的最多的是教师的示范发音。这就要求教师本身发音要准确、规范。只有在听清楚、听准确的基础上，才能使学生模仿，也才能模仿得对，模仿得准确。在教学中，为了让一个班四、五十个学生都能听清、听准，我经常是“走着教语音”，有时在教室前面说一遍，然后走到教室后面让学生转过身再说一遍。这样使每一个学生都能听清，为正确模仿

英语语音 元音辅音的学习 一、元音 熟悉元音舌位图对于准确掌握元音的发音非常重要。通过元音舌位图的指导，在元音学习时明白舌位的变化，在练习的过程中能有意识地感到发音的部位。舌头抬起的高度（high、mid、low）;舌头最高部分的位置（front、central、back）;元音的长度或强度（long or short; tense or lax）;唇的圆展（rounded or unrounded） 二、辅音 在辅音学习中，对发音常识的认知，比如发音与发音器官的关系，唇齿音的位置，肌肉的紧张与松弛程度，声带的振动与否，气流的通道是口腔还是鼻腔等，都将对音的准确与否产生影响。在学习过程中，发音常识能给与理性指导。辅音的分类非常细致，总共有6个爆破音；9个摩擦音；2个塞擦音；3个鼻音；3个近似音；1
个边音。 注意，在英语中有/b//d//g//p//k/等辅音，汉语中也有。但汉语中的/b//d//g/等是不送气的，声带基本不震动。所以大家可以感受到，英语辅音是压迫出声的，气流冲破感要强得多，声带震动也强烈。如果我们仍用发汉语辅音的习惯去发英语辅音，那么会有“波”“泼”“摸”之类的音出现，cat会发成“凯特”，book会发成“布克”等等。这就是明显的中式英语，所以应特别注意英语辅音中发音时的气流冲破感。 三、常见易错易混元音、辅音 前元音/i/ /i:/ 和短元音/I/ /i/ Believe me. 相信我。 It's a deal. 一言为定。 I mean it. 我是认真的。 Zip your lips! 闭上你的嘴！ It's Greek to me. 我完全听不懂。 Business is business. 公事公办。 I beat him down to fifteen.我把价给他杀到了15元。 后元音/?/和/?:/
自然拼读法在小学英语语音教学中的运用策略（一）通过大量的听说训练，练习学生的拼读技能 自然拼读法最重要的部分是要让学生掌握单词与发音之间的关系，通过对发音规则的掌握认识单词的拼写规律，通过两者之间的对应关系感知拼读法的作用。但是由于当前我国小学生不具备基本的发音能力，也无法对拼音进行基本的认读分析。因此，教师在运用自然拼读法时，需要先从听说能力训练开始，掌握基本的英语对话能力，从而促使学生对音素形成基本的认识。教师首先要在学习之初引导学生掌握一定的英文对话，让学生掌握英语的基本发音方式。例如，教师在引导学生学习a的发音规则时，可以首先让学生通过这样的情景对话方式熟悉a的发音语境。教师拿出几张图片，引导学生跟着教师拼读几组对话：“What is that？”“This is a cat.”“What is that？”“This is a rat.”通过图片中的引导和对话的听说训练，让学生掌握a的拼音规律。 （二）科学设计拼读课程，保证学生掌握基本的拼读规律 自然拼读法的运用需要掌握科学的认读规律，需要通过合理的拼读教程设置促进学生对拼读法形成体系化的认知。因此，教师对拼读课程的设置要体现学生的认知规律和拼读规则，一般情况下，学生掌握44个音节需要4个学期的时间，教师可以通过合理的时间设置为学生掌握拼读规则制订科学的学习计划。教师在设计拼读课程时，可以先从26个字母的发音规则开始学习，然后根据学生的具体掌握情况调整学习的进度。例如，教师首先要对音节的发音规律进行分析，通过分析发现，在元音及辅音的学习过程中，/a/、/e/、/i/、/o/、/u/、/n/、/t/、/d/、/s/的出现频率较高，教师可以先从这几个音素的发音规则开始学起，通过这种体系化的方式，让学生对音素的发音规则、组合方式等有最基本的掌握，从而为学生自主拼读奠定良好的基础。 （三）多媒体引导拼读教学，提高学生的拼读兴趣 要引导学生通过自然拼读法掌握基本的发音规则及识记拼读能力，还需要学生形成持久的学习兴趣，并从拼读、阅读中掌握学习的技巧。小学生学习的一个重要因素是视觉因素，学生能够通过生动的画面、丰富的色彩和美妙的发音对所学的知识形成较高的学习兴趣，同时丰富的媒介形式也能够刺激学生的学习欲望。因此，教师也要通过多媒体的形式，利用丰富的音频、视频提高学生的学习兴趣。例如，教师可以通过简单的动画系列如跳跳蛙（leapfrog）及Bailey’s BookHouse等动画及游戏提高学生的学习兴趣，鼓励学生从动画、

初中英语语音教学
初中英语语音教学 ［摘要］本文探讨了初中英语语音教学的策略，介绍了英语语音教学方面的体会，以及语音教学的方法和探讨，旨在引导教师结合自己的教学实际，思考优化语音教学的方法和途径。 关键词：初中英语语音 在本人执教的这些年中发现了一种怪现象：初中学生在初一开始学习英语时，都怀有强烈的学习兴趣和良好的愿望，希望学好英语。但时隔不久，有些学生就开始消极、灰心、厌烦、甚至放弃，形成大面积掉队想象。根据教学研究观察发现其根源在初一，且关键在于语音未能及早过关。大多数学生不知道英语单词的拼写跟发音之间的密切联系，往往不是科学地从音到形去记单词，而是从字母到拼写形式去死记硬背，就这样忘了又记，记了又忘。另一方面，用汉字注音的想象屡见不鲜，而根据汉字注音读出来的单词和句子令人啼笑皆非。在初一不打好语音基础，就会给以后的英语学习就留下严重的“病根”。它会严重阻碍英语学习能力和运用能力的提高，所以，语音教学有着不可忽视的重要意义： 首先，保证正确的输入与储存 学会正确、准确的英语语音语调，才能把所学的英语语言材料以正确的声音形象输入大脑并储存起来。这种正确的英语语音语调在大脑中的输入与储存是学好英语的基本保证。
其次，保证正确的理解听到的英语信息 只有自己储存的英语语音语调形象正确、规范，才能够听懂他人说的或录音、广播等媒介输入大脑中的正确、规范的英语。那些用不正确的英语语音语调储存的英语语言材料，是不可能与正确的英语语音语调的输入产生可理解的共鸣的。所以，凡语音语调不正确的英语学习者，其听力理解能力都很差。 再次，保证打好英语学习的基础 学好英语语音语调是打好英语学习的关键。英语语调学好了，记忆单词，输入句子，英语朗读，提高口语，进行阅读写作，乃至自学英语都有了坚实的基础。相反语音语调学不好，连单词的拼写都成问题，记忆单词、句子难，不但听力差，而且说的能力也无法提高。不仅学不好口语交际。而且阅读和写作也大受影响。更难以获得自学英语的能力。事实证明，许多词汇、语法、阅读、写作上的“暗病”都是由于最初没有打好英语语音基础所致。 那么，如何才能做好语音教学呢？为了帮助学生顺利过好学习英语的第一关-----语音关，在教学过程中本人始终恪守以下教学要点。 1. 听清模仿与规则对比相结合 初中学生学习语音，主要的途径是在听清教师的发音或听清录音的基础上，进行反复的模仿。听是学习语音的第一步，先听清楚、听准确、听仔细、听充分，才能了解音的特点：音质、音色、音长、音响等。所以先听音，后模仿，听清发准，这是语音教学的基本步骤。在很多情况下，学生的语音语调不好，是由于听得不够，未听仔细，没有听清就模仿所致。所以我们教师应多创造条件让学生多听教师和录音提供的标准语音语调，而且要听清、听准、听熟，在此基础上才能进行模仿。模仿时，可以先集体模仿，然后可以单独模仿。集体模仿可以节省时间，大家齐声开口练习发音器官，使胆小、内向的学生也敢于与大家一起练习。个别单独模仿才能检查出学生模仿的质量，便于有针对性地指导与纠正。 对于学生感到困难的音和调，仅靠模仿还不够。必要时应辅以适当的规则讲解与对比，可以帮助学生掌握发音和语调的要领，具体把握好发音的限度。例如，告诉学生发[e]时，上下牙之间可容一指宽的距离；而发[?]时，上下牙之间可容两指，这样学生练时就有了大致的标准。又如，仅向学生说明一般疑问
