How to Teach English: Pronunciation 101—Mastering Articulation, Air Blocking, and Voicing | TESOL


This video by Victor Cahon explains how to teach English pronunciation, focusing on articulation. He highlights three key characteristics: places of articulation (where the sound is produced in the mouth), blocking of air (how airflow is manipulated), and voicing (vocal cord vibration). Using examples like “ball,” “fall,” and “tall,” he demonstrates how changing articulation affects sound. He also explains stop and sibilant sounds, and voiced vs. voiceless sounds (like “pat” and “bat”). The video suggests practical activities to help students understand these concepts.
