4. WHY WE LEARN PHONEMES
â˘James Pitman state, âl2 speaker of English
language should learn sound of alphabets
before knowing name of Alphabets.
â˘It will help them to attach, mix, fix sound to
gather to produce words.
7. What is phonemes
â˘Smallest unit of language
â˘distinct units of sound in a specified
language that distinguish one word from
another, for example p, b, d, and t in the
English words pad, pat, bad, and bat.
14. Plosive sounds
â˘a consonant that is produced by stopping
the airflow using the lips, teeth, or palate,
followed by a sudden release of air.
â˘Bilabials [p], [b]
â˘Alveolar [t], [d]
â˘Velar [k], [g]
17. Fricative sounds
â˘a consonant sound, such as English f or
v, produced by bringing the mouth into
position to block the passage of the
airstream, but not making complete
closure, so that air moving through the
mouth generates audible friction.
28. Affricates
⢠It also determines the type and degree of hindrance the airflow
meets on its way out affected by the closure. The closure adopts
different manners for different sounds. For instance, during the
articulation of the affricate sounds the following sequence of
events occurs
Affricates Initial Medial Final
/tĘ/ Chip butcher Catch
/dz/ jam aged luggage
35. Lateral
⢠a consonant sound produced by raising the tip of the tongue
against the roof of the mouth so that the airstream flows past
one or both sides of the tongue.

⢠Make group of 5 member.
⢠Worksheet provided to participants of all phonemes
⢠Give different themes to all group.
