【简答题】

Why should we teach pronunciation and intonation in context?

  题目答案

It is the context that determines or gives meaning to the sounds, stress, words, and sentences. Human sounds have social and communicative functions. The same words said with different rhythm and intonation will produce different meanings depending on the speaker’s attitude and intention. Practicing the pronunciation of individual sounds in isolation is sometimes necessary, but not sufficient in developing students’ phonological competence.
