The Phonetic Comparison Between the Yi Language and English
Abstract: People in Liangshan Yi Minority Autonomous Prefecture speak the Yi Language, which is a completely different language from English. The writer of this paper carried out a research to make a comparison and a contrast of the two languages in phonetics, for the purpose that the result of the research could not only help Yi students to understand the phonetic characteristics of the two languages and clear the obstacles in learning English, but also help English teachers in Liangshan design some scientific teaching methods and improve the foreign language teaching conditions there. The writer has been to middle schools in Puge County, Liangshan Prefect. to do some investigation with questionnaires and mini-type meetings, where she discussed the differences of the phonetics in the two languages and the difficulties Yi students face, from which she has got precious first-hand materials. The writer found that, apart from the different phonetic symbols in the two languages, some more differences exist in their intonation, tune and phoneme. As the writer focuses on the difference of phonetic symbols, she will discuss in this paper the following points: 1. some phonetics symbols in the Yi language and English are the same both in form and pronunciation; 2. some phonetics symbols in the Yi language and English are the same in form but different in pronunciation; 3. some phonetics symbols in the Yi language and English are different in form but the same in pronunciation; 4. apart from vowels and consonants, the Yi language has some initial consonants and vowels；5. English has some diphthongs，but the Yi language hasn’t. Finally, the writer proposes a few constructive suggestions to the English teaching in Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture.

Ⅰ. Introduction
Yi language belongs to the Yi language branch of Sino-Tibetan language system, and is quite different from English either in origin or in phoneme. For many reasons, the English teaching in Yi area is backward compared to the interior area for a long time, which becomes one of the biggest obstacles in the process of Yi students’ study. Many talented and diligent Yi students are refused by many top universities in China just because of their poor English. In addition to the reasons of study environment, study condition and teaching method, the differences of speech organs and speech habits between English and Yi language are also the obstacles of English-learning of Yi students. And all of these obstacles result in inevitable influence in English learning in Yi area.
In order to offer useful information to the English teachers and Yi students in Yi area, the research team first made an thorough research of the English and Yi language phonetics and then penetrate the middle schools of Yi area ( Puge county of Liangshan Yi people autonomous prefecture) and communicate with the Yi students face to face to obtain the first-hand materials.
Through means of investigate-questionnaire and the mini-symposium, we communicated with the local Yi students, acquired the first-hand materials, and finally find out the similarities and differences between English and Yi language in phonetics and the common problems that the Yi students face in English-learning. And I hope the research would have some help in improving the English teaching in Yi area and in improving the Yi students’ English ability.
Ⅱ. Phonetic symbols of the two languages
English contains 26 phonetic symbols, of all these phonetic symbols, there are 5 vowels and 21 consonants. Every phonetic symbol has one or more than one sound. Thus, English totally has 44 phonemes, if take [ts],[dz],[tr],[dr] into consideration, then there are 48 phonemes in English. The written form of phoneme is phonemic alphabet, that is phonemic symbol. One phonemic alphabet stands for one phoneme. English totally contains 12 monophthongs, 8 diphthongs, and 24 consonants.
On the contrary, Yi language is a syllable character language, that is to say, one character stands for one syllable in Yi language. Yi language totally has 10 vowels and 43 consonants. The comparison between the two languages is as following.

Ⅲ. The other differences between the two languages
Yi language and English belong to totally different language systems, Yi language belongs to Sino-Tibetan language system, while English belongs to Indo-European language system. So, we can compare the phonetic differences not only in phonetic symbols, but also in tone, intonation, formation of pronunciation, diphthong, consonant and vowels.
ⅰ. the tone of Yi language
Tones are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords. Pitch variation can distinguish meaning just like phonemes; therefore, the tone is a suprasegmental feature. The meaning-distinctive function of the tone is especially important in what we call tone languages. English is not a tone language. Yi language, however, is a typical tone language. It has four tones. And the role of the tone can be well illustrated by pronouncing the same sound combination such as‘o’in the four different tones.
Ot(under) ox(have done) o(kidney) op(goose)
In Yi language, a syllable can be pronounced in different ways, thus result in different meanings. This is the definition of tone in Yi language which can distinguish different meanings through different pronunciation.
The Yi language in Liangshan , a syllable stands for a character, and a character consists of consonant, vowel, and tone.
In addition to distinguish the meaning of word, the tone also has grammatical function. For example:
xit(bite) nga shep(I look for) nga mo ox(I have seen)
xix(what) nga shex(look for me) nagx mo ox(have seen me)
Liangshan Yi language has four tones, that is .
ⅱ. the intonation of English
When pitch, stress sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation. Intonation plays an important role in the conveyance of meaning in almost every language, especially in a language like English. English has four basic types of intonation, known as the four tones: the falling tone, the rising tone, the fall-rise tone, and the rise-fall tone. The most frequently used are the first three. When spoken in different tones, the same sequence of words may have different meanings. Generally speaking, the falling tone indicates that what is said is a straight-forward, matter-of-fact statement, the rising tone often makes a question of what is said, and the fall-rise tone often indicates that there is an implied message in what is said. Compare the following three different ways of saying the same sentence:
1. ‘That’s ‘not the ‘book he ‘wants.
2. ‘That’s ‘not the ‘book he, wants.
3. ‘That’s, not the book he, wants.
Spoken in the falling-tone, version1 simply states a fact, i.e., the book in question is not the one he wants. Version2, said in the rising tone, indicates uncertainty on the part of the speaker; he is asking the question: is that not the book he wants? Version3, spoken in the fall-rise tone indicates that apart from what is said literally, there is an implied message, i.e., besides telling the listener that the book in question is not the one he wants.
Intonation can make a certain part of sentence especially prominent by placing the nucleus it. Nucleus refers to the major pitch change in an intonation unit. Within one intonation unit, the nucleus normally falls on the last stressed syllabe. Shifting the nucleus to another syllable, normally stressed or unstressed, will cause difference in meaning.
ⅲ. in addition to consonants and vowels, there are initial consonants and vowels (韵母) in Yi language
Consonants and vowels are classified in terms of manner of phoneme, while initial consonants and vowels(韵母) are classified in terms of the place of the phoneme in a syllable. Generally speaking, a syllable is divided into two part, the front part is initial consonants and the back part is vowel(韵母).
Initial consonant is the consonant of the beginning of a syllable, and the vowel(韵母) is the left part of a syllable. i.e., sso(study) and ma(bamboo), in these two syllables, ‘ss’ and ‘m’ are initial consonants, ‘o’ and ‘a’ are vowels(韵母).
But here what I want to point out is that consonants and initial consonants are different concepts, the same as vowels and vowels(韵母). All initial consonants are served by consonants, but not all consonants in the syllables are initial consonants. And though nearly every vowel can act as vowel(韵母), but the phonemes which are serves as vowels(韵母) are not limited in vowels. So, we can say that the scope of vowels is less than the scope of vowels(韵母).
ⅳ. the diphthongs that English phonetics has but Yi language does not
In English there are a number of diphthongs, which are produced by moving from one vowel position to another through intervening positions. But in Yi language there aren’t diphthongs. And t the English diphthongs include [ei] [ai] [au] [] [] [] [] [] [].
ⅴ. both languages have some phonetic symbols which do not exist in the other language.

Ⅳ. The difficulties of Yi students in pronunciation when learning English
Our investigate target includes the first grade and the second grade students of middle school in Puge county. Of the investigation about 120 Yi students in Puge middle school and Puge ethnic middle school, we find out most of the students, though cannot articulate some phonetic symbols, they can articulate the words which contain these phonetic symbols. From this point, we can figure out that the English teachers don’t pay much attention to the pronunciation of phonetic symbols, but to the pronunciation of the single word which cause the students cannot understand the phonemes and cannot pronounce the word by themselves. And thus they can only rely upon teachers, without teachers, they would lose the ability of self-study. And some English teachers cannot articulate the phonetic symbols themselves, no speak of teaching the students. We also found that during the process of leaning English phonetic symbols, the students always try to find the English phonetic symbols’ counterparts in Yi phonetic symbols, if they cannot find the counterparts, they would guess the pronunciation without any scientific reasons, and always mistake[] into [s], and mistake [] into [z], and do not care the long vowels and the short vowels. The phonetic symbols that Yi students always make mistake are listed as follow:
Phonetic symbols

8% (9 students)

Ⅴ. Means to improve
Through series of investigation, comparison and analysis, we can find that there are still some phonetic problems in English teaching which must be solved quickly. If you want to improve the teaching quality, learn a language and use it to communicate, phonology is crucial. If you cannot pronounce it correctly, you cannot make yourself understood, then you did not reach the goal. So, we should put the phonetic study in an important place either in study or in teaching. What’s more, the phonetic teaching shouldn’t limited just in the first step but should throughout the process, corrected again and again, and finally overcome the mother-tongue remove influence, and we can speak an influent and correct sentence. Here are some advice we give according to the existent problems.
ⅰ. improve English teacher’s English ability
Through the investigation, we found that some English teachers, even themselves cannot articulate the phonetic symbols. For example, in this investigation, there is one class of grade two, when asked “Compare with the tape, does your teacher’s pronunciation correct?”. The 49 students’ answers are as following: 15 students’ thought that their teachers’ pronunciation is standard, 24 is just so so, and 10 is that they don’t know.
So, the English teachers in Yi area should first learn English very well themselves. All of us know that speech and writing are the two media or substances used by natural languages vehicles for communication. And of the two media of language, speech is more basic than writing for the reason that language is first perceived through its sounds, and writing system of any language is always “invented” by its users to record speech when the need arises. Thus the study of sounds is of great importance in language learning. So if the teachers have not had the standard pronunciation, then they would mislead the students through the process of teaching. And the result would be serious and cannot be solved during a short time.
ⅱ. improve the teaching method
we should develop the advantage of Yi students’ ability of imitation, and compare the phonetics between English and Yi language, through this way to let the students understand the differences of phoneme, tone, and intonation. Of course, in order to achieve this, the teachers should pay much attention to it. We found teachers can teach students through 4 differences. First, compare the phonetic symbols which have the same writing form and same pronunciation in both languages. For example, [i]. Second, compare the phonetic symbols which have the same writing form but different pronunciation. For example, [e]. Third, compare the phonetic symbols which have different writing form but same pronunciation. For example, [y] in Yi language and [i] in English. And last, compare the phonetic symbols which contained only in one language.
ⅲ. cultivate the students’ interests in English, stimulate their study motivation
There is one class of grade one, when asked “when you encounter the English phonetic symbol you cannot find its counterpart in Yi language, what would you do?” 10 percent of the students’ answer is to ask for the teacher’s help, 90 percent of the students would give up, and nobody would consultant the electronic dictionary for help, the reason is that they don’t have the tool.
And we can deduce a conclusion from the students’ answers that most of the students have no motivation to learn English, and thus when they encounter the difficulties, they would always choose to give up. So, from this point, in order to improve the students’ English, we should first cultivate the students’ interests in English, stimulate their motivation. Actually, the students have a strong curiosity in learning, but how to lead them to a useful way, it all depends upon the teachers right guidance. The only motivation to enter higher school is not enough.
ⅳ. increase facilities
The process of phonology is a process of continuous imitation. Thus, standard teaching tape and language lab become unnecessary through the process of English learning. But we found that both schools and students didn’t put much attention to it. In addition to have classes, only a few students have the chance to listen the original tapes and watch the original movies. The schools of Yi area should try to build language lab, make sure that the students learn standard phonology, what’s more, to stimulate their motivation to learn English.
Ⅵ. Conclusion
The Yi students’ difficult to learn English has limited the improvement of Yi area’s education quality in general for a long time. And this problem becomes more prominent nowadays, when the government proposes to improve Chinese people’s quality in general, and when the government proposes to improve the ethnic minority’s education in West China. This investigation focuses on the comparison between English and Yi phonology and find out the differences and similarities. And we hope that this paper can offer some useful information to the English teachers in Yi area and to the Yi students, too. And hope that the Yi students can benefit from this paper, and finally speak very influent English. The comparison between English and the Yi language has a long influence in Yi area’s improvement of education and economy. We sincerely hope that this paper have some value in this process.

如何学好英语音标
学习汉语需要先学习拼音，那么学习英语就需要先学习音标。每个音标跟中文的每个字母一样，通过学习音标来了解每个单词的发音。下面丁博士就来说说如何学好英语音标。
如何学好英语音标
学过语文的人都知道汉语拼音的重要性，它是读书、认字的基础，也是今后查阅资料以及提高各方面水平的不可缺少的拐杖。音标在英语中的作用和拼音在汉语中的作用一样，学好音标是学好英语的基础，学习和掌握好音标是初中英语教学的一个重点。
48个英语音标犹如60个汉语拼音，只要学生熟练地掌握了它们，对学习英语的作用是相当大的。第一、能握简驭繁地把众多的英语单词读准。
第二、英语的音和形有很多相似之处，只要平时注意积累发音规则，就可以达到听其音而知其形，见其形而晓其音。这一点比学汉语容易多了。
学习英语音标的方法
1. 熟练掌握一种音标(美式或英式)的读音
英语音标分美式(kk音标)和英式(dj音标)两种，你可以根据自己的喜好选择一种来学习。比如你要到英国去留学，那你就选择英式的;你喜欢看美国大片，那你就选择美式的。一般来说美式发音比较清晰，音拖的长，连读
比较多，且比较夸张;而英式发音似乎比较短促，抑扬顿挫.其实只要能说一口纯正的英语，无论是美式的还是英式的都无所谓(个人意见)。好了，去网上找一份视频教材，跟着仔细地练习发音。注意：1.一定要动口，绝对
不要只听不练，否则就是做无用功;2.要反复地练习。刚开始的时候你可能发现学了就忘，其实这里很正常的事，别泄气，你要做的就是反复学习。多学几遍自然就记住了。你可以一天就学几个，第二天再学几个，同时复习以
前学过的。或者一天学完，然后再每天复习一遍。一直到你能够看到某个音标就能立刻读出它的发音。
2.音标的发展和变化
也许你发现有些音标变你不认识了。不要紧，音标自从制定之后就一直朝着更科学的方向变化发展。其实它的每一次变化都是很小的，并且变的更合理，更易于学习了，你只要花费一点时间，就能够轻松地掌握它。
3.英语音标的发音规则
有时候你注意到你听到的发音可能和实际标注的读音并不一样。这不奇怪，毕竟是先有了语言才有的音标。音标是为了标注语言而产生的，但是语言是一种复杂的东西，音标并不能完全地表达它。于是就出现了一些规则来作为
补充。如：连读，重读，爆破及不完全爆破音，清辅音的浊化等等。。。学会了这些，才可以说真正学会了音标。
音标学习方法
多听。学习音标要先练习听，最初接触音标的时候听个一两遍几乎没有什么印象，因此要多听几遍，多磨耳朵，这样才会在头脑中留下印象。
模仿练习，学习国际音标的发音，要注意观察老师的口型，观察发音部位的变化，主动模仿发音，初学可以对着镜子模仿练习，特别是元音发音的舌位高低，口腔开口度大小与音色关系十分密切，可以通过镜子观察口型上的区别，观察舌尖、舌面、舌叶的活动情况，比如u和o、i和e、e和ε等等，掌握准确口腔开口度，对于准确发音具有非常重要的意义。
动口，动口是加强实践的关键和核心，听音也好，模仿也好，比较也好，最终要归结到自己发音这一目标上来，所以勤动口是掌握国际音标发音的关键。俗话说，“三天不写手生，三天不念口生”，说的就是要加强动手动口能力的培养。因此学习国际音标，要时时加强语音训练，勤动口，反复实践练习，在实践中比较，在实践中体会差别，做到熟能生巧，这样自然就掌握国际音标的发音了。
多写。音标和字母，拼音都不同，要想牢固的掌握音标，可以连续不同音标的写法，掌握它们的写法，有利于更好的掌握它们。
注意比较，比较有两个方面，一是音标本身发音特点的异同比较，分清特色，避免混淆，比如[ε]和[ ]，
[ ]和[ ]，注意其发音音色上的差别;二是注意普通话音素和外语或方言音素音色的差异，例如普通话的音素[p]、[k]、[t]与英语中的音素、[ ]、[d]的异同，通过比较，可以有效地认识到音素上的差异，从而准确发音。特别是要注意普通话音素和英语音素的差别，像、[ ]、[d]这些浊音音素，都是普通话音系中所没有的，初学不能把它们与普通话的一些辅音混为一谈。
音标学习资料
音素是英语发音的最小单位，英语中有48个音素。音标则是记录音素的符号，是音素的标写符号。一个音素只用一个音标表示，一个音标只表示一个音素。所以，英语中也就有48个基本的音标。英语词典中对单词的额注音都是通过音标来进行的，因此，对以英语为外语的学习者来说，掌握音标是必须的。音标学习软件软件提供48个音标音标的真人发音语音，口型图，文字要点说明和单词发音示例，再加上跟读对比、单词听写、音标听写多种形式的选择题练习和测试，让你轻轻松松快速学会音标。
以上就是丁博士跟大家分享的如何学好英语音标的全部内容。在学习音标的过程中一定要掌握好恰当的方法，要多听多读。如需了解更多相关内容，请关注丁博士官网。http:///education.htm

2.课题研究的国内外现状综述
3.研究目标和内容
4.研究方法
5.研究计划
1.研究背景
《义务教育英语课程标准（2011 年版）》中指出：“语音教学是语言教学的重要内容之一。自然规范的语音、语调能为有效的口语交际打下良好的基础。”小学英语中最为重要的就是语音，发音的准确是关乎小学英语教学质量的关键。当前有相当一部分学生记忆单词的方式就是一遍遍地重复书写，造成了这部分学生只会默写单词，而不能读出单词的现象。Phonics直拼法通过讲授字母在单词里的发音规律，能够帮助学生掌握良好的发音，是提高小学生英语接受能力的较佳方式。
1.1小学英语语音教学目前存在的问题
1）采用中文注音现象频现，拼读能力欠缺在小学英语的教学中，低年级的小学生对于英语语音的学习能力较为薄弱，通常是机械地进行死记硬背，没有学习头绪，缺乏记忆热情。学生在进行拼读学习的过程中，大多采用中文注音的方式来记忆发音，不看汉语就想不起单词的发音，拼读能力迟迟得不到改善。
2）单词拼写写能力普遍薄弱
学生单词的拼写能力与发音能力一样，忘得比记得快，在听写单词的过程中，很少有同学能够将单词全部拼写正确，这对于英语整体教学水平的提高都有很大影响。不会读也不会拼写的现象在小学英语教学中时常发生，学生的单词拼写成为学生英语学习中的一个阻碍。
3）语音及词汇教授方法上存在问题
教师在小学英语语音教学中担任着重要作用。目前，很多教师还是采用传统的教学方式，让学生死记硬背词汇，不观察学生的学习细节，只是盲目地进行授课，造成学生学习效果一般。
1.2原因分析
1）机械记忆单词降低了学生学习英语的兴趣
对于低段小学生如果机械学习死记硬背语音、单词会很大大降低学习英语的兴趣。相比机械记忆，Phonics 直拼法与小学英语课程标准所提倡的教学理念更相契合。学生能够发现英语发音规律，使英语学习更具趣味性。基于该方式，小学生能够通过音标、音节、发音规律等方面而学习单词，规避传统错误学习方式，因而可提高其学习能力。
2）传统小学语音学习方式急需变革
《义务教育英语课程标准（2011 年版）》中小学阶段二级标准关于语音的要求是：“了解简单的拼读规律”；关于词汇的要求是：“知道要根据单词的音、义、形来学习词汇”。想要达到新课标的要求，就要对传统的小学英语语音学习方式进行变革，找到有效的教学方法来实现上述目标。Phonics直拼法就是讲授这个字母有哪几种拼读的规律，以及每种规律的发音，由此建立音、形二者之间的联系，让学生来学习词汇。
2.本课题相关的研究现状综述
Phonics 直拼法，最早使用是从 18 世纪 90 年代的美国阅读教学。我们所熟悉的直拼法教学专家 Blevins认为这种方法很直观的揭示了音形之间的内部关系，按照这种有规律拼读的方法，学生都能容易拼读出单词并能听音做到书写单词。
直拼法在国内开始流行的时间大概是在于20世纪90年代，高敏的研究显示，英语直拼法教学英语单词语音与拼写统读起来，可以有效的提高学生学习和记忆单词的能力。兰华芳的研究显示英语直拼法从儿童容易接受的拼读入手，通过一些绘本和游戏极，大地满足了儿童的心理需要，调动了学习主体的动机。
大量的研究都表明，Phonics直拼法作为一种高效的教学方法，通过建立字母以及字母组合与发音之间的联系，能够有效帮助学习者记忆单词，同时还有助于提高学生的阅读理解能力。

如何写英语教学教案
教案(Teaching Plan)是教师施教的课时计划或方案，是帮助教师有效地进行素质教育教学的依据。教案可以帮助教师有计划、有步骤地进行素质教育教学，充分利用课堂教学时间，高质量地完成教学任务。教案写得如何将直接影响教学效果的好坏。因此，在日常教学中，广大教师都非常注重写教案。那么写教案时应写什么呢?
一、写课题(Topic)和课型(Lesson Type)
课题相当于文章的标题，讲课时要首先告诉学生，并写在黑板上。因此要写得准确。课型是指该节课的讲授类型。初中英语的主要课型有：：新授课(New lesson)、巩固课(Reinforcement Lesson)、复习课(Revision Lesson)、语音课(Phonetic Lesson)、听力课(Listening Lesson)、听说课(Aural-Oral Lesson)、阅读课(Reading Lesson)、语法课(Grammar Lesson)等。不同的课型应用不同的授课方式或方法，只有确定了课型，才能选择有效的素质教育教学方法。
二、写教学目标(Teaching Objective)
教学目标是教案的核心内容，是教师施教的准绳。教学目标要符合大纲对教材的要求。由于教学目标要在课堂上展示给学生，让学生明确，所以写素质教育目标时，要力求简明扼要，浅显易懂，便于操作和检测，一般3~4个目标为宜。
三、写教学的重点(Main/focal Points)、难点(Difficult Points)和关键点(Key Points)教学重点是课堂教学的主要任务;教学难点是师生顺利完成教学任务的障碍;素质教学关键是攻克教学难点的突破口。在教案中写清一节课的教学重点、难点和关键点，能提醒教师在讲课时注意突出重点、突破难点、抓住关键。
四、写教具(Teaching Tools)
课堂上需要什么教具要写清楚，如录音机、教材录音带、教学挂图、卡片、实物(或模型)、小黑板、刻印好的练习题、彩色粉笔、幻灯片等。
五、写教学过程(Teaching Procedure)
教学过程是教案的主要部分。写教学过程主要写以下几方面的内容：
1、 写教学环节。教学环节即教学任务是什么要写清楚，做到心中有数。目前有
些教师采用"三阶段六环节"教学模式，即：准备阶段(自由交流、复习检查)、讲练阶段(导入课程、分层操练)和发展阶段(巩固发展、布置作业)。
2、 写知识点和所用时间。写好知识点，教师使用教案时能一目了然，有的放矢。写好所用时间，能使教师从容掌握教学速度，合理安排每个教学环节所需的时间，充分利用课堂时间。
3、 写教师活动。不仅要写教师"教什么"，还要写出教师"怎样教"，即写清楚教师要教的内容，写出讲授这些内容的方法。写出课堂用语和各环节的过渡语。课堂用语要求简练、口语化，用学生已经学过的熟悉的、听得懂的英语来解释或表达新的教学内容。各环节之间的过渡语要自然流畅。写出使用教具的时机和方法，写板书内容等。
4、 写学生活动。写出学生学习的内容和学习方法，特别是怎样学应写清楚。不能简单地把学生活动写成听、读、思考、操练、做题等。
六、写课堂训练题(Exercises)
备课时精心设计的有针对性的随堂练习题和达标题要写在教案中。写清出示这些题的办法，如用小黑板、看刻印材料或学生已有材料等。写出这些题的答案和解题方法。
七、写课堂小结(Summing-up on Teaching)
课堂小结是教师帮助学生回顾和总结本节课的学习内容的重要环节。小结的方式和方法要在教案中写清楚，不论是教师引导学生总结，还是由教师归纳总结，都要注意把本节课的内容纳入知识系统之中，使学生在整体上把握知识。
八、写板书设计(Blackboard Designs)
板书是有声有色的教学语言，它具有直观性、形象性和启发性。因此，教师在课堂上要有计划地使用黑板，板书什么内容、写在什么位置、用什么颜色的粉笔等要在备课时设计好，并写在教案中。避免课堂上东写一个句子、西写一个短语、一会儿写、一会儿擦、一会儿擦了又写的板书混乱现象。好的板书能使讲课的内容系统化、结构化，有利于学生复习本节课的知识。
