一、语音技能:英式英语和美式英语在读音上的区别
英式英语和美式英语在读音上的差异主要反映在元音字母a,o和辅音字母r的不同读音上。
1.当字母r出现在单词的元音字母组合中时,北美英语会出现独特的卷舌音。也就是元音发音完毕后,要很流畅地将舌尖向后卷,但不得接触上腭。

二、听力技法微指导:从非语言语境提高听力水平
非语言语境包括三个方面,情景语境、认知语境和文化语境。非语言语境经常被我们忽略。然而,非语言语境确实在听力中扮演着重要的角色。这里主要强调情景语境在提高听力中的作用。
在听力过程中,情景语境与听力理解的关系密切, 是解读口语语篇的必要条件。情景语境包括人物,人物之间的关系,时间,地点等容易被观察到的语境。
在听力中有很多固定语境,比如校园生活、求职、购物和看医生等。这些都是固定的语境,有固定的人物和人物关系等。
