TRANSCRIPT
Using the correct phoneme (which is the
smallest unit of sound within a word)
Being able to distinguish different words
that sound similar but may be differ by one
letter
• (example: pad, pat or bad, bat)
The ability to articulate (or make) the right
sound and put stress on the correct
syllable
The ability to speak with the correct
speaking pattern, pitch and tone.
So pronunciation focuses
more on how to say
words
The ability to put the correct words and phrases together in the correct order, and to say complete thoughts with fluidity and ease
Speaking also includes a more social context such as politeness, use of appropriate language for the situation/environment and the ability to dialog
So speaking focuses more on when, where, and how to say words together so they can
express your thoughts.
