Top Reasons Why Rules of Pronunciation are Extremely Important for Teachers - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Many ESL teachers have never even heard of phonetics or phonology, yet they use these aspects of speech naturally when they speak. Phonetics and phonology are two areas of linguistics that study the sounds of language. Phonetics focuses on individual sounds, while phonology studies the features and combination of sounds (McMahon, 1-3). There are two reasons why ESL teachers need to know phonetics and phonology: first, it helps them to conceptualize English in a way that their students can understand; and second, it helps them to address their students' difficult pronunciation problems.
Why Students Suffer from Pronunciation Issues?
Lack of Subject Knowledge
Sound Awareness

Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
Conditionals are a fundamental part of English grammar that every teacher should know like the back of their hand. Let's take a look at the zero conditional below.
Zero conditionals are used for facts that are generally true and do not change. They refer to a general situation that always happen (for example in the rules of a game or laws of physics) if a condition is met. The condition always has the same result.
The zero conditional uses the present simple in the if clause and in the main clause.
Zero conditionals are also called "Type 0 conditionals" (general truth – general rule).
