From the organizer: This is a presentation on how the syllable types of English can be used to determine pronunciation.
Over the course of two sessions we will cover 6 syllable types. During the first session, we will look at what a syllable is in English, and then explore the pronunciation and spelling rules for Closed, Open, and Vowel-Consonant-e syllables. We will also look at the importance of ending consonant sounds and intonation of phrasing in English. During the second session, we will review the information presented on syllables in the first session and then expand on this by looking at the pronunciation and spelling rules for R-Controlled, Vowel Teams, and C-LE Syllables. We will also look at syllable stress in words and discuss the schwa sound.
