A. Introduction/Rationale
The lesson in this module introduces the learners to the various types of speech
contexts that can exhibit appropriate verbal and non-verbal behavior. In this part of the self-
learning pace among package learners, the different speech styles are introduced for the
learners to be able to identify situations in which speech styles are most applicable. It covers
the definition of speech and the different organs of speech mechanism, the production of
sounds as to vowels, together with the various components of these segmental sounds.
Furthermore, this module also facilitates observation among the appropriate language forms in
using a particular speech style.

B. Desired Learning Outcomes/Objectives

At the end of the module, the learners will be able to:

a. distinguish the various vowel sounds in English Language;


b. familiarize the vowel sounds aided by the different word examples in the module;
c. draw the Vietor Triangle with emphasis on the classification of vowel sounds;
d. produce a definite sound according to the symbols of vowels at their own self-learning
pace;
e. discriminate the different vowel sounds through their own tongue-twister examples;
and.

C. Motivation: Buckling Up

Stimulating Activity:

Directions: Pronounce the following tongue twister with emphasis on accuracy over speed. The
challenge is on whether you can pronounce the words in the items as quickly as possible
without sacrificing the accuracy of articulation.

Note: Time yourself up and check your progress in appropriate articulation and
progression of speech speed.

Tongue twisters are a great way to practice and improve pronunciation and fluency.
They can also help to improve accents by using alliteration, which is the repetition of
one sound. They’re not just for kids, but are also used by actors, politicians, and public
speakers who want to sound clear when speaking. Below, you will find some of the most
popular English tongue twisters. Say them as quickly as you can. If you can master them,
you will be a much more confident speaker.

SPEECH

According to Thesaurus Dictionary, Speech is referred to as the power of speaking, the


faculty of oral communication, and the ability to express a person’s emotions and thoughts
through sounds and gestures. Speech is largely associated with the person’s innate ability to
interact as all humans are known to be sociable in nature. Speech contributes so much to
human’s gift of higher intelligence among creatures known to have existed because only
humans have the ability to communicate using intelligible, clear, systematically-formulated
language. Although human languages vary from different regions of the world, each
language known to man has a distinct characteristic of structural patterns, phonemic and
morphemic attributes, semantic associations and pragmatic applications to every culture
using it.

English, being the lingua franca, is worldly adopted since it is the largest medium of
communication used for educational instructions, commercial purposes, medical practices,
military strategies and a lot more to impact the affairs of people around the globe. English is
used to bridge understanding among different races, cultures, tribes and ethnic groups as a
common language, link language, and trade language to purport understanding.

As the most widely considered world language, English is significant in many aspects of
human lives such as cultural, diplomatic, administrative, religious, and scientific

denominations to respond to the calls of peace and unity through lenient understanding.
Thus, English is a world-wide necessity.

There arises a great demand in English language acquisition, much popularly known as
Second-language acquisition (SLA) by which an individual learns his second language.
Second language acquisition refers to the scientific discipline geared towards studying the
world-wide language, known to most as English. Second-language acquisition is a branch of
applied linguistics that deals with the study of English and its impact to the society in and
out of the native language’s places of origin.

Second-language acquisition advocates on the idea of an inter-language where learners


do not merely compare the native language they use and the second language acquired, but
springs out a new concept of a language with a different system, having its own rules and
underlying principles. However, the native language of the learners has a great influence in
learning new ones, such as English. This significant factor is known as the language transfer.
Hence, just like all other languages, English carries the culture of people using it.

In this part of the book, the learners are exposed to many English language structures
and phonemic patterns in order to achieve fundamental background in the English language
culture and diagnose difficulties in speech to target and achieve communicative
competence.

1. Lips - pair of articulators that are usually pressed together in order to produce
speech sounds, but can also be partnered with other organs of articulation. They are
formed in various shapes depending on the speech sound they actually aim to
produce either protruding or widening position to create round vowels and certain
consonants or side-stretching to produce unround vowels and distinct consonant
sounds.
2. Teeth – classified as upper and lower, located in front of the mouth, immediately
following the location of the lips. Of course, humans have teeth to the sides of their
mouths, and back almost to the soft palate lining within the cheek areas of the face.
3. Alveolar Ridge - can be felt by the tongue at the back of the top front teeth that is
used as a connecting point to the front section of the hard palate.
4. Palate - often called the "roof of the mouth". It is the smooth curved surface on top
of the mouth when the tongue glides through. It is more commonly associated with
the bony tissue inside the mouth, and thus, termed as hard palate.
5. Velum – otherwise called as the soft palate, it is located in the area that serves as a
passageway for the air to pass through the nose and through the mouth. At some
point in human’s speech, it is used as a control area to block the air from getting out
through the nasal cavity in order to produce non-nasal sounds, such as those in
plosives and glides.
6. Tongue – considered as the most important articulator since it is a very strong
muscle responsible for the articulation of speech sounds. It can be moved into many
different places and various shapes. Phonetic experts agreed on the divisions of the
tongue into five major parts namely: tip, blade, front, back and root.
7. Nasal Cavity – considered to be a very important articulator for making sounds
(what is sometimes called our vocal apparatus), particularly nasal consonants such
as /m/ and /n/. It is located inside the nose regions, which is lined with a mucous
membrane that helps regulates healthy condition of moist by making mucus to avoid
nosebleeds from a dry nose. The nasal cavity also contains little strands of hair to
filter the air when inhaling to block dirt and dust from getting into the lungs.
8. Pharynx - a tube that is located above the larynx. It is approximately 7 centimeters
long among females and about 8 centimeters among males. At the top edge, it is
divided into two parts: the back of the mouth and the starting point of the nasal
cavity.
9. Larynx – considerably termed as the voice box, is an organ of articulation in the top
of the neck that is involved in respiration process, sound production and tracheal
protection against food aspiration. The larynx is the section of the phonetic tube
that houses the vocal folds, and regulates the quality of pitch and volume of sounds
that are essential for phonation.
10. Glottis - the lowermost part of the phonetic tube extended from the larynx
consisting of vocal cords and responsible for muscular support for contraction in the
closing and opening of the vocal folds when breathing and producing certain speech

sounds. This articulator also affects vocal modulation through its contraction or
expansion.

SPEECH SOUNDS:

THE SEGMENTAL PHONEMES

Speech sounds are contextually used to mean phonemes which are a sub-factor of
grammar that falls under phonology or the study of sound system in language. Generally,
speech sounds are divided into two major components, namely: Segmental and Supra-
segmental Phonemes.

A. SEGMENTAL PHONEMES

Segmental phonemes pertain to the individual characteristics of sounds in the utterance


of every word, without having to use it in a sentence. Segmental phonemes focus on the
distinct ways of how a certain sound symbol (phoneme) differs from the others as it is
vocally delivered using the organs of articulation.

Divisions of Segmental Phonemes


VOWELS AND CONSONANTS

a. Vowels – sounds that are articulated with less or totally no hindrance or blockage from
any of the organs of articulation. They are classified according to HORIZONTAL POSITION
OF THE TONGUE, VERTICAL POSITION OF THE TONGUE, LIP FORMATION and
ARTICULATORY MUSCULAR CONDITION.

1. PRIME VOWELS:

a. /i/ - long /ee/ sound


b. /I/ - short /ee/ soiund
c. /e/ - long /ey/ sound
d. /ɛ/ - short /eh/ sound
e. /æ/ - long /eh/ sound
f. /a/ - big /aa/ sound
g. /ɔ/ - quick jaw /a/ sound
h. /o/ - long /oh/ sound
i. /ʊ/ - short /u/ sound
j. /u/ - long /uu/ sound

2. UNPRIME VOWELS / SCHWA SOUNDS:

a. /ʌ/ - accented schwa sound


b. /ə/ - unaccented schwa
c. /I/ - unaccented barred /I/ sound

b. Consonants – sounds that are articulated with partial or full obstruction or blockage
from any of the organs of articulation. They are classified according to VOICING, MANNER
OF ARTICULATION and PLACE OF ARTICULATION.

1. VOICELESS CONSONANT SOUNDS:

a. /t/ - talk, try, tell


b. /p/ - person, pretty, plead
c. /k/ - cat, kiss, card
d. /f/ - false, friend, staff
e. /θ/ - thing, think, throw
f. /s/ - hiss, struggle, super
g. /ʃ/ - shoes, chartreuse, shingle
h. /tʃ/ - church, pitch, stitch
i. /h/ - hair, hen, hat

2. VOICED CONSONANT SOUNDS:

a. /d/ - dabble, dog


b. /b/ - boy, barn, big
c. /g/ - garbage, grave, guard

INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET

IPA which stands for the International Phonetic Alphabet is used by educators, who are
mostly linguists, as a phonetic notation system that is largely based on Latin alphabetical
origins. The International Phonetic Association first used this sound system coding during
the late 19th century as a scholarly device to determine standardized sound representation
of fundamental spoken languages including English. Due to its widely acceptable relevance
in the sound- language systems, the device is employed in educational fields by students,
teachers, speech-language pathologists, actors, singers, translators, construct-language
specialists, and lexicographers. The International Phonetic Alphabet represents the qualities
of speech in oral languages including phonemes, cues, intonation, pitch and syllabication.

THE VIETOR TRIANGLE

FRONT BACK

HIGH

MIDDLE

LOW

CENTRAL

Vietor Triangle is a linguistic device used in studying phonetics in order to


determine the approximate position and movement of the tongue in the articulation of the
vowel sounds. It is a diagrammatic visualization of vowel sounds, created by
Wilhelm Vietor (1850-1918, German philologist and phonetician). This linguistic device
shows the various positions of the tongue and jaw in the process of vocal productions of the
vowel sound(s) required when speaking.

Technically, there are eleven (11) vowels illustrated in the Vietor Triangle: the first ten (10)
of them are called Prime Vowels and the 11th vowel is phonetically termed as a Schwa.

PRIME VOWELS:

1. /i/ 6. /a/
2. /I/ 7. /ɔ/
3. /e/ 8. /o/
4. /ɛ/ 9. /ʊ/
5. /æ/ 10. /u/

3. / Ɨ/

The vowel is the most important element of a syllable.

A vowel sound can stand alone as a syllable or as a word.

For the vowel sounds, there is little or no obstruction in the mouth. Most significant
articulators are the tongue and the lips.

Classification of Vowel Sounds

A. The classification of vowels according to the horizontal movement of the tongue are as
follows:

1. front vowels --------------------------------------------------- / i, I , e, ε, æ /


2. central vowels --------------------------------------------------- / a, Ə, ^, Ɨ /
3. back vowels --------------------------------------------------- / ɔ, o, U, u /

B. Vowels are classified according to the vertical movement of the tongue:

1. high vowels --------------------------------------------------- / i, I , u, U /


2. middle vowels --------------------------------------------------- / e, ε, Ə, ^, Ɨ, o /
3. low vowels --------------------------------------------------- / æ, a, ɔ /

C. Vowels are classified according to the position of the lips:

1. unround --------------------------------------------------- / i, I , e, ε, æ /
2. round --------------------------------------------------- / ɔ, o, U, u, a /

D. Vowels are classified according to articulatory muscle quality:

1. tense --------------------------------------------------- / i, e, o, u /
2. lax --------------------------------------------------- / I , ε, æ, a, U, Ə, ^, Ɨ, ɔ /

THROAT / VOCAL CORD


- colloquially known as the voice box,
located within the larynx at the top of the
trachea. They are open during inhalation
and come together to close during speech
production. It restricts air passage in order
to produce certain vowel sounds such as /i/
and /I/, including the /U/ and /u/.

PERISTALTIC POINT
- located in the middle of the chest, where
there is a strong muscular movement that
pushes the food down during the first stage
of digestion. This section contains limited
amount of air that is puffed out during
phonation. It is the storage section in
producing the /E/ sound in speech.

DIAPHRAGM

- considered as the powerhouse storage of


massive amount of air, which is in excess of
the air sacs from the lungs. This vocal
station creates a resonance in phonation
when used to produce massive speech
sounds. It is used in producing sounds
like /e/, /a/, /o/ etc.

CORE VALUES
Indiana Aerospace University adheres to these core values:

- Doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way


- Professionalism
- Pro-activeness
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Dignity of Work
- Respect for the integrity of life

A. Professionalism – contemplating on the barriers of communication, it is very


important for people to understand the concept of professionalism in dealing with
different cultures as the manner of communicative channel and choice of verbal and
non-verbal forms of communication could affect the outcome of the message
exchange process. One could be misinterpreted to be rude, offensive or indecent if
one does not value professionalism in dealing with cultural differences.

B. Pro-activeness – as the concept of communication reaches to the depths of


transmitting information in the most effective manner, pro-activeness has been
incorporated in this module since every person who communicates with other
people needs to apply positivity and jollity in order to provide a meaningful and
dynamic discussion instead of a blunt and dull one.

C. Teamwork and Collaboration – despite the challenges of distance learning, the


students are still engaged in collaborative activities where they can share insights
and aspects of their creativity through the stimulating activity and even in the course
of the modular lecture.

Start here:

A. Teamwork and collaboration- We, the learners of Indiana Aerospace University should help
each other for us to accomplish and make our dreams come true. Even we didn’t meet yet, but
we should help study, learn and gain more knowledge despite of this pandemic.

B. Professionalism- It is important to us students to know about the word professionalism. In


the future, all of us become a professional. We should know how to act one, it is important in
communication to act like professional or I should say formal communication to others.

Rubrics:
1. Explains the concepts of communication and applies it in professional and academic
activities as a self-motivation in future business or career (5 pts)
2. Uses correct grammar, punctuation and spelling (3 pts)
3. Encodes font entries with accuracy and proficiency abiding by the following: Times New
Roman Font Style, 12 Font Size, 1 inch border per side (2 pts)

 Teamwork and Collaboration – Just like what I did with my last module, I applied
teamwork and collaboration. We must work collaboratively to achieve our goals.
Communicating with my other classmates can help me if there are things I don’t
understand and I will also do the same thing to them.

 Doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way – All of us students do their way of


working something and to excel we just need to do our work exceptionally. For me to
learn, I need to adapt to the new environment and the new normal. I will encounter some
barriers in communicating through virtual but I must still live life just like everyone but
in an extraordinary way.
