The Importance of Language Awareness in the Phonology Component of a Teacher Training Programme.

Hyde, Martin

Language Awareness, v3 n3-4 p141-50 1994

Discusses the need for a systematic approach to phonology in language teacher training, outlining the deficiencies in the current "atomistic" approach to phonology in English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) instruction and suggesting that a holistic approach will provide teachers with a better understanding of the sound systems of the English language.
