Phonics and Phonetics

Importance of Phonics and Phonetics

Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing the English language by developing learners’ phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes—in order to teach the correspondence between these sounds and the spelling patterns. In the English language, there is no natural connection between words and their meanings. Using the a simple word like “cat” for example, there is nothing innately “cat-like” about the word “cat”. In other words, the written letters making up the word “cat” do not reflect anything about an actual cat. The word and its written form are agreed upon by English speakers and thus must be learned in order to communicate accurately and effectively.

Training for teaching Phonics & Phonetics

The comprehensive seven-week course will cover all aspects of teaching Phonics and Phonetics. The first part of the course will focus on reinforcing the basic concepts of phonemes, vowels and consonants. Thereafter, participants will be taught placement of stresses in words and appropriate use of intonation. Lastly, the course will cover techniques to teach these concepts to children, as well as activities that teachers can include in their own curriculum and lesson plan.
