We need a new way to understand Phonetic!

I always have thought that phonetic was something boring and uninteresting.  I didn’t understand the difference between the phonemes and letters.  I supposed that when I have been in the school, I didn’t learn this topic completely.
As teachers, I have understand that to teach literature, it is essential the phonetic. Phonetic has an aim to teach the production of speech sounds by humans. In our case, it is important to includes that phonetic have different rules or different positions depending on the language.
To teach phonetic is a difficult way. Children acquire a different lexicon depending on all the words that they have heard.
In the past, phonetic was taught through reading and writing. In my opinion, I think that phonetic should be understand by the child. Children don’t understand the purpose of phonetic and by this reason, we should to choose other option to teach this section as games or activities.

As a conclusion, children should understand that phonetic is not letters, if not sounds that depend on the form and the language.

  1. Hello Dani !!!
    I really think as you think.
    When I was a child I used to get bored when I had to stude phonetics and I remember that I was never paying attention to what the teacher was saying.
    I think that we as future teachers will have to manage to explain this topic in a funny or attractive way because we are in charged of forming a base in the students knowledge and, reaching this point of my bilingual life, remembering when I was a kid, I would like to go back and pay more attention to the teacher when I had to, because nowdays I see the lack of phonetics concepts I have today.
    Keep it up pal, you´ll do quite well, I´m sure of it ;).
