Now let's take a look at how we go from traditional spellings into the phonemic spellings. The first step in this process is identifying each unit of sound or each phoneme within a word. Let's look at bet, bit, but, and bought. The only difference in each one of these words is in the vowel sound. We have bet, bit, but and bought. Each word simply uses three sounds. Now we have photo. That's four phonemes. Wow we have taxi. That's five phonemes. We have unite with a hidden phoneme in there being the ?y? sound before anything else. Those are five phonemes as well and now we have a longer word: chemistry. Let's give that a shot. That's eight phonemes used in the word chemistry. Now once we've isolated each sound we want to assign a phoneme for each one of those sounds let's do that now.
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
Conditionals are one of the most confusing parts of teaching ESL. And it has a lot of rules to consider. And we need to be careful about teaching these to our students as to avoid confusion. There are also a lot of rules to consider when it comes to direct speech as it changes its tenses when it becomes reported speech. This has been one of the most difficult topics that I have encountered. However, I learned a lot and thank you again for the lesson.I found this chapter especially helpful because I found difficulties in explaining to an English learner why present tenses are used to describe the future. There are five future tenses: future simple, future continuous, future perfect, future perfect continuous, and be going future. However, the present simple and present continuous are used for future scenarios. The chapter explains clearly in which situations to each of the future or present tenses.
