 Hi, students! Welcome to Senior High school! You must be
experiencing a lot of adjustments due to the pandemic, and it is
quite brave of you to still continue learning despite the
challenges of our time. We are delighted to see you and witness
your perseverance indeed! We will guide you through this
module and ensure that your learning adventure is fun! Fasten
your seatbelt and let’s begin the learning ride!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Before we begin, take note of the following:
1. Follow carefully all the contents and instructions indicated in every page of this module.
2. Write on your notebook or any writing pad the concepts about the lessons. Writing enhances
learning, that is important to develop and keep in mind.
3. Perform all the provided activities in the module.
4. Let your facilitator/guardian assess your answers.
5. Analyze conceptually the posttest and apply what you have learned.
6. Enjoy studying!

REMINDERS
As your facilitator, I expect that you, as a learner, differentiate the various English speech symbols
and their sounds.
Specifically, this module will help you to
a. recognize the English vowels, consonant sounds and diphtongs ; and
b. apply the primary and secondary stress in pronunciation.

2
 Speech sounds are classified as vowels, consonants, and
diphthongs. Those which are produced with relatively little obstruction
of vocalized breath are called vowels; those which are produced by
obstructing exhalation are called consonants; and those composed of
two vowels but pronounced in close succession and blended into one
gliding fashion are called diphthongs.

THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET (IPA)

The IPA was first published in 1888 by the Association
Phonetique Internationale (International Phonetic Association), a group of
French language teachers founded by Paul Passy. The aim of the
organization was to devise a system for transcribing the sounds of speech
which was independent of any particular language and applicable to all
languages.
A phonetic script for English created in 1847 by Isaac Pitman
and Henry Ellis was used as a model for the IPA.
Uses of the IPA
1. The IPA is used in dictionaries to indicate the pronunciation of
words.
2. It has often been used as a basis for creating new writing systems
for previously unwritten languages.
3. It is used in some foreign language text books and phrase books
to transcribe the sounds of languages which are written with non-
Latin alphabets. It is also used by non-native speakers of English
when learning to speak English.

 CHAPTER 1| VOWEL SOUNDS

A vowel is a speech sound made by allowing the breath to flow

out of the mouth, without closing any part of the mouth or throat
(although the lips may move to create the correct sound, as in creating
the sound /o/.

sound (as the vowel combination at the end of toy) that starts at or

the position of another.

CHAPTER 2| STRESS

Stress is an important feature of speech communication that

deals with the variation of level and energy in pronouncing syllables. It is
the accent given to a syllable to give it more importance than the other
syllables and to make it stand out among them. Stressed syllables are
given (1) more force or intensity, (2) higher pitch and (3) longer duration.

22
 Primary Stress ( ‛ ) is the loudest or strongest stress; while
Secondary Stress ( ’ ) is less forceful than the primary stress—it is next
to loudest.

GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE USE OF STRESS

There are no fixed rules for determining which syllable of a word
should be stressed. However, certain rules can be of help to language
learners of English.
1. Any monosyllabic word used in isolation is basically stressed.
a. dánce b. róute c. pínt
b. d. cóuch e. suíte

2. Majority of two-syllable words are accented on the first syllable (3

out of 4).
a. We love our cóuntry.
b. That girl bought a bottle of expensive pérfùme.

3. Compound nouns have primary stress on the second component

and secondary stress on the first component.
a. He owns that drúgstòre.
b. Ana lives with her grándmòther.

4. Compound verbs have primary stress on the second component and

secondary stress on the first component.
a. Don’t underéstimate her ability.
b. The river overflówed its banks.

23
 5. Numbers ending in teen may receive stress on the last syllable to
distinguish, for example, thirty and thirteen.
a. Johanah will be seventéen next week.
b. The highest possible score is fiftéen.
6. Many words show shift in stress to indicate their use either as nouns
or verbs. The noun is accented on the first syllable, the verb on the
second.
a. The musical cóntest will be held at the gymnasium. Will you
contést the judges’ decision?
b. We got a written pérmit from the dean of our college. Mother
will permít us to join the division meet.

ACTIVITY 7. Read the following words properly.

NOUN VERB
1. annex annex
2. contract contract
3. convert convert
4. decrease decrease
5. desert desert
6. digest digest
7. exploit exploit
8. protest protest
9. record record
10. subject subject

24
7. When suffix is added to a word, the new form usually retains the
stress of the basic word.
a. govern - góvernment
b. háppy - háppiness

8. in other cases, the accent shifts from one syllable in the noun form
to another syllable in the adjective form.
NOUN VERB
possibility póssible
ability ábility
simplicity símple

9. words ending in –tion, -sion, -ic, -ical, -ity have strong stress on
the syllable preceding them.
a. The expánsion program of the CSSH building is underway.
b. He passed the recent board examinátion.

10. Idiom verbs are stressed on the second component.

a. Keep down your temper if you want respect.
b. Can you carry óut the plan without us?

11. In intensive-reflexive pronouns, the primary stress falls on the

last syllable.
a. They made themsélves miserable.
b. The desperate man killed himsélf.

25
 12. Adjective/verb root words with negative prefixes are stressed
primarily on the negative prefixes.
Adjective root words Adjective root words

fortunate únfortunate fortunate únfortunate
polite impolité polite impolité
correct incorrect correct incorrect
