Phonology, also known as phonemics, is the study of the particular sound units (phonemes) in languages. It focuses on describing distinctive sounds through examples like minimal pairs, such as 'tin' and 'bin'.

This self-access, three-module course will help you identify key elements of teaching English pronunciation alongside training you to evaluate and use activities to practice challenging sounds.
