A 9 lesson unit comprising a 72 slide PowerPoint, 9 different worksheets (8 include a text or texts for analysis) and a summary terminology and theory sheet, exploring the topic of phonetics, phonology and prosodics. This unit can be used for any of the major exam boards.

Each lesson includes a starting discussion prompt which acts as a learning objective, detailed notes on the terminology listed below, a worksheet containing a text (or revision cards for lesson 9), and a homework task. The following terminology is covered:

  • Phonemes – minimal pairs
  • IPA
  • Consonants – articulators (labial, dental, alveolar, palatal and velar); voiceless and voiced sounds; plosive, fricative, affricative, nasal, lateral and approximant
  • Vowels – syllable, onset, coda, monophthongs and diphthongs
  • Accent and dialect; assimilation, dissimilation, insertion and deletion; glottal stop
  • Sound patterning – alliteration, sibilance, consonance, assonance, lexical and non-lexical onomatopoeia
  • Sound iconicity
  • Phonological manipulation – pun, homonymy, homograph, homophone, phonemic substitution
  • Prosodics – intonation, stress, rhythm, pauses
  • Paralanguage – non-fluency features

The final lesson is a consolidation activity complete with guided revision cards. Alternatively, you could use an app such as Quizlet so that the students could produce digital revision resources.
