Well, I want to start these
reflections talking about the book "English
Phonetics and Phonology" written by Peter Roach because it is a practical course to learn English pronunciation.Where I could
find clear explanations ,definitions and exercises used in Phonology. Pronunciation,
dialects and the accent are aspects very
important in order to learn English language.For example, the BBC pronunciation
is accepted as the official accent to speak English because its pronunciation in terms
of phonemes , alphabet letters and special
symbols in order to represent speech
sounds were stablished in the chart of IPA. In conclusión, in this first chapter
I learned definitions about dialects, accents and why there are different accents and dialects between American and
British English.
Links about accents and dialects.
Your explanation about chapter 1 is according with the book, but you needed write more relevant information related with the introduction of this course, for example that the course is organized into five sections like notes on problems and further reading, notes for teachers, written exercises, audio exercises, and additional exercises. I consider that it is important because with this knowledge you could manage the book in a correct way without problems.
