Teaching Proununciation from the Top Down

Martha C. Pennington

Department of English as a Second Language University of Hawaii at Manoa

Pronunciation is re-examined from a "top-down" perspective which shifts the focus of attention in language instruction from individual phonemes to suprasegmentals and other features of the larger con text of utterances. These include prosody, phonological fluency, voice quality, and gestures. A basis is provided for instruction and student practice of the entire communicational complex in which pronunciation is situated.
