What is a syllableA syllable is a word part and the basic unit of English rhythm. English words can have one, two, three or even mor

14、e syllables. In the word driveway, there are two syllables. In the sentence Drive him away, there are four. What is a stressed syllableIn English words with more than one syllable, one of them will receive more stress than the others. Stressed syllables are those that are marked in the dictionary as

15、 stressed. For example, in the word driveway, the first syllable is a stressed syllable while the second syllable is not. Stressed syllables in English are usually longer, louder, and higher in pitch.Listen to the following example:baNAAAAna Syllable 1Syllable 2 Syllable 3 (short) (long) (short)The

16、word banana has 3 syllables. Syllable 1 is not stressed and so is short. Syllable 2 is stressed and so is long with a clear vowel sound /B:/. Syllable 3 is not stressed and so is also short.Here is a short summary about the stressed and unstressed syllables:Stressed syllables are strong syllables. U

17、nstressed 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.Now lets look at the rhythm in English.We all know that correct pronunciation of the individual English sounds is impor

18、tant in communication. The way the sounds are organized, however, is often more crucial for understanding. The rhythm of English, for example, is one of the two major organizing structures that native speakers rely on to process speech. What is rhythmRhythm can be found everywhere in life: the sound

19、 of a clock, the beating of the heart, the strokes of a swimmer, and of course in poetry and music. But rhythm in language is less familiar because it is less obvious. The rhythm of a language is characterized by the timing pattern of successive syllables. In some languages, every syllable is given

20、about the same length, while in others, syllables vary in length. In English, strong beats are called stress - the heart of the rhythmic pattern.第1单元根本概念：音节、重音与节奏本单元将向大家介绍英语语音语调的根本概念, 主要介绍英语语音的音节、重音和节奏规律。首先，让我们先来看看英语的音节：单词driveway有两个音节。句子Drive him away有四个音节。何谓“音节”？音节是一个言语单位，常常比一个语音长，但比一个单词短。一个英语单词可以

21、有一个、两个三个或更多的音节。就像我们刚看到的单词driveway有两个音节, 句子Drive him away有四个音节。同时，音节又是英语发音节奏的最根本的单位。何谓“重读音节”？假设一个英语单词中拥有两个或两个以上的音节，其中一个音节会比其四周的音节要洪亮些。重读音节通常在词典中有所标注。例如，单词driveway的第一个音节就是重读音节，而它的第二个音节就是非重读音节。英语中的重读音节在发音过程中往往要比非重读音节要长一些，洪亮一些，同时音调也稍高一些。例如，“banana”一词有三个音节。第一个音节是非重音，所以发音所需时间比拟短。第二个音节是重读，所以元音/B:/发的比拟长，清晰洪

22、亮。第三个音节同样属非重音，所以发音所需时间也很短。可见，重读音节与非重读音节分别有以下特征：重读音节: 声音洪亮 持续时间较长 音调较高非重读音节: 1.持续时间较短 2.元音发音弱化英语话语节奏：学会发好每一个英语音素，是学好英语语音的根底，正确的发音在语言沟通中特别重要。然而，语音的组合方式对于听者的理解也起着至关重要的作用。英语的话语节奏就是其中之一。何谓“英语话语节奏”？节奏在我们的日常生活中无所不在：滴答转动的钟表声，砰砰不停的心脏跳动，游泳的划水节拍，美丽诗句和音乐的韵律，这些都是节奏的表达。话语节奏与前面我们所提到的日常生活中自不待言的节奏不同之处在于：语言中的话语节奏不是那么

23、明显与确定。语言中的节奏特征是由一连串音节的长短来表达的。有一些语言的话语特点是：每一个音节的音长呈大致一样的趋势，这种音节彼此间隔 大致相等的现象被称为“以音节定时”节奏。汉语的话语节奏就有这样的倾向。例如，当我说：“面包加牛奶”，这里含5个音节，所需的时间暂且定为5个时段。假设我要说：“一片面包加一杯牛奶”，这里含9个音节，所需的时间就是9个时段。英语的话语节奏则显不同的趋势。例如，在“bread and milk”短语中，音节数是三个，其中“bread”与“milk”是重读音节。在“some bread and some milk”这一短语中，音节数是5个，其中重读的也是“bread”与

24、“milk”。虽然这两个短语的音节数不同，但是在话语中，它们所需的时间却是大致一样的，因为它们有一个共同点：重读音节数一样。这种重读音节彼此间隔 相等的现象就是“以重音定时”节奏。驾驭这一英语话语的节奏规律。对于进步我们英语口语的流利程度和自然程度以及英语听力理解快速解码的实力至关重要。正因为如此，我们将重音与节奏的学习放在中心与突出的位置，从第一单元的概念介绍开场，贯穿整个语音课程学习的始终。Unit 2Lesson PlanConsonants: Stops(教案：附要点、重点和难点)Purpose: The students will learn the stop consonants

31、n this unit, we will learn the stop consonants in English. The 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 stops in English: /p/ and /b/ are formed by the lips, /t/ and

32、/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. These stops a

33、re among the most frequent sounds in English and have fairly consistent spellings./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. The following are some

34、of the allophonic variations of /p/ and /b/.

36、 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 pronoun

41、leasing 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 know 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

42、 the beginning, middle, and end of words in English.

45、 a fronted soundgeesegRounded, before a rounded soundgoosePronunciation difficultiesThe 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 tap, code as coat and /li:

46、g/ 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. Drill the sounds in all positions, paying close
