2. “Dentro das instituições que dizem adotar a
abordagem comunicativa,parece não haver
consenso a respeito da importância do ensino
dessa habilidade [pronúncia] para a
aprendizagem. Enquanto um número de
professores de Inglês como LE acreditam que o
ensino da pronúncia seja uma prática
ultrapassada e conservadora, dando mais
importância ao ato de comunicar em si,outros já
concebem o ensino da pronuncia como um
aspecto essencial para garantir o sucesso da
capacitação do aluno.”
3. Hoje se compreende que o ensino de
pronúncia deve seguir um caminho mais
balanceado. Tendo clara a importância tanto
de reconhecer sons com alta carga funcional,
ou seja, distintivos (como a vogal em least
and list), quanto de reconhecer aspectos
suprasegmentais, como entonação e
tonicidade.
4. Phone: One of many possible sounds in the
languages of the world. The smallest
identifiable unit found in a stream of speech.
E.g.: [p]
Phoneme: A contrastive unit in the sound
system of a particular language. A minimal
segmental unit that serves to distinguish
between meanings of words.
E.g.: /p/
5. Allophones: An allophone is a phonetic variant
of a phoneme in a particular language. There
are different phones representing the same
phoneme.
E.g.:
[ph] inicial position, as in pat
/p/
[p] following a initial /s/,
not aspirated, as in spin
[p ] final position, lips remain
closed and the the /p/
unreleased, as in cup

11. Consonant phonemes can be distinguished
along three main dimensions:
1. Voicing: whether or not the vocal cords are
vibrating
/s/ voiceless
/z/ voiced
12. 2. Place of Articulation:
Air passes through the oral cavity (mouth) or
the nasal passageway (nose), or through
both.
articulator: movable part of the articulatory
system (mainly the lower lip and various
parts of the tongue)
place of articulation: Where the contact with
the articulators occurs
14. The places of articulation summarized:
Bilabial:
produced with the two lips.
Labiodental:
produced with the upper teeth and inner lower
lip
Dental:
produced with the tongue tip on or near the
inner surface of the upper teeth
15. Alveolar:
produced with the tongue tip on or near the
tooth ridge
Palatal:
produced with the tongue blade or body near
the hard palate
Velar:
produced with the tongue body on or near the
soft palate
Glottal:
Produced by air passing from the windpipe
through the vocal cords
16. 3. Manner of articulation:
Level of obstruction in the air flow as it encounters
the obstacles of the speech organs.
Stop: the airstream is stopped completely prior to
release
Fricative: air is forced through a narrow
passageway criating friction
Affricate: the sound begins as a stop and is then
released as a fricative
Nasal: continuous air is released through the nasal
cavity while the speech organs assume a stop
like position
Approximant: the airstream moves around the
tongue in a relatively unobstructed way. They
are of two kinds: the liquids and the
glides(semivowels).
17. Vowel:
the peak of the syllable, which mightbe
composed of a single vowel.
all voiced.
relatively unobstructed air flow
changes in shape and size of the oral cavity
three types:
1. Simple vowels
2. Glides
3. Diphtongs
18.
19. Parts of the tongue involved:
Front, central, back
Positions of the tongue:
High, mid, low
Position of the lips:
Rounded, spread, neutral
