Phonetics, Phonology, MorphologyAbstract
This article explores key grammar topics in phonetics, phonology, and morphology tailored for A1 level English learners. It emphasizes the importance of understanding voiced and voiceless sounds, as these are critical for correct pronunciation and avoiding common speech errors. Voiced and voiceless distinctions aid in the accurate articulation of suffixes and plurals, while intonation instruction addresses common pitfalls in sentence melody that can affect comprehension and fluency. The article underscores that addressing these fundamental aspects early in the learning process can lead to more effective acquisition of English grammar and improved communicative competence.
