The aim of this chapter is to expose the students to the English sound system in order to improve their spoken English. The chapterintroduces the learners to phonetics and phonology. It presents organs of speech briefly and focuses on the segmental features -English vowel and consonant sounds; their articulation, symbols and classifications. Though the expression of language can either be spoken or written, the spoken form is primary therefore, it forms the basis for the written form. This is evident in the fact that some languages, in spite of their functionality in their respective speech communities, have not developed orthography for their written form. Phonetics and Phonology are the branches of linguistics that study the sound production and sound combinations. Phonetics and Phonology are two different but related concepts. Though there are profound differences between them, there are also some areas of overlapping. Therefore, it is sometimes very difficult for many students to differentiate between the two concepts.

English is the most widely spoken language on the planet today. Because of its prominence as a world language, English has been extensively researched and taught: it has been the subject of numerous linguistic descriptions, and it is taught in thousands of classrooms and language institutes around the world. Phonology is one of the disciplines that make up linguistics, which is described as the scientific study of language structure. Contrast phonology with other branches of linguistics to have a better understanding of the subject topic.Speaking is defined as the constriction and opening of the vocal tract, which is the passage through which air passes during speech. This is evident in examples such as banana ([bə'nænə] or [bə'nanə]), in which the vocal tract is closed three times (first by the lips, then twice by the tongue), with each closure being followed by a vocal tract opening. Syllables are formed by combining successive openings, hence the word banana has three syllables. The nucleus of the syllable is considered to be the open component of the cycle.Consonants are any sounds in which the flow of air out of the mouth is obstructed to the point of causing a disturbance in the airflow.Vowels, on the other hand, are any sound in which the air flows freely from the lips.

Phonetics and Phonology-Basic Definitions Phonology and Phonetics are part of Linguistics. Linguistics is that area of research that analyses Human language and Human communication, from any perspective. In our case, the perspective is specific to sounds. So when we refer to a specific subarea of Linguistics in relation with the study of human sounds, we are really speaking of either Phonetics or Phonology. These terms are used when we describe a research activity related to the study of sounds, but they are not same. So, in the following paragraphs, we will concentrate on the definition of each term separately. Phonetics: Phonetics deals with what takes place once the sounds are actually produced, that is, Phonetics refers to the activity of the vocal tract, the acoustic features of sounds and perception of speech. These three stages also establish three different branches in Phonetics. 1. Articulatory Phonetics: deals with the articulation of sounds. Within articulatory phonetics researchers usually study the different parts and activities of vocal tract and the sounds that can be produced there: vowels and consonants. 2. Acoustics phonetics: deals with physical aspects of sounds, how sounds really are, since, in essence, sounds exist only because there occur disturbances of air particles. 3. Auditory Phonetics: is a branch of phonetics which studies how sounds are perceived, the psychological and neurological implications of such an activity. Phonology: Phonology is description of the systems and patterns of sounds that occur in language. There is a set of sounds which is attributed to every language, whereas the patterns of sounds means the combination of these sounds and other features, for example: syllable, stress, pitch and intonation. Because each language presents its unique set of sounds, these sounds are said to be distinctive sounds. To be distinctive means, by altering a single sound, whole meaning of word can be changed. So the first task of phonology is to determine which sounds can convey a difference in meaning. Problems faced in English Pronunciation: 1. Lack of correspondence between orthography (spellings) and pronunciation. E.g. sit/child, dinner/diner. 2. Interference of mother tongue: Foreigner speakers pronounce the sounds of English as they perceive them in their native language. 3. Lack of recognition of sounds like food, been, tomb, lamb, poem etc. 4. Improper use of length, intonation, stress and pitch. 5. Difficulty in fluent speech due to lack of understanding of sounds production. 6. Listening English language in unreal context leads to misconceptions of spoken language. Factors that can cause pronunciation problems: 1. Lack of confidence 2. Lack of vocabulary 3. The teachers did not focus on the pronunciation 4. Influenced by the surrounding Ways to Overcome: 1. Continuous Practice 2. Listening English language in required (BBC) accent. 3. Watch the English movies containing British accent, and watching BBC news. 4. Assign the teaching and learning process to the native speaker. 5. Understanding how the sound system of English functions. 6. Using audio materials which teach vocabulary and differences between two similar looking sounds. 7. Phonetics and Phonology classes. 8. Qualified phonology teachers. Phoneme: Any of the perceptually distinct units of sound in a specified language that distinguish one word from another, for example p, b, d, and t in the English words pad, pat, bad, and bat. Vowels: As indicated earlier, vowel sounds are typically voiced. They are produced with a relatively unconstricted (open) vocal tract. Air flows freely through the vocal tract during their production. Also, the lips may be rounded or unrounded in vowel production.

Objectives. To understand how stylistic phonetics can help with the interpretation and understanding of meaning. To understand how writers use phonetics and phonology self-consciously to construct meaning. Stylistic phonetics deals with the analysis of sounds in literature, using tools and approaches from linguistics.
1977:1). The commonly encountered expression 'the interface between phonology and phonetics' implies that the two domains are largely separate and interact only at specific, proscribed points (Ohala 1990a). In this paper I will attempt to make the case that phonetics is one of the essential areas of study for phonology.
Bearing this in mind, this paper aims to delve into pronunciation from a CEFR-oriented perspective by (i) exploring the skills and competences required to be considered as proficient language users with specific reference to phonetics and phonology on part of language learners and (ii) describing the standards of teaching profession with regard ...

sciences. Phonetics essentially seeks to trace the processes physiologically involved in sound production.

Integration. Few concepts in phonetics and phonology research are as widely used and as vaguely defined as is the notion of prominence. At the crossroads of signal and structure, of stress and accent, and of production and perception, the notion of prominence has received a wide number of contradicting or unspecific definitions.
Overview of the special issue. In this special issue, we gather together six articles which broadly deal with phonetic and phonological aspects of speech disorders in children (pre-school and school-aged) and adults (adolescents and adults) across various languages. What follows is an outline of the main themes underscored in this special issue and a brief introduction to the contributed papers.
teaching of phonetics and phonology offers a flexible and convenient alternative for learners who want to improve their English pronunciation and comprehension skills. Research Problem Despite the potential benefits of online teaching of phonetics and phonology, there needs to be more empirical research on its effectiveness and challenges.
