Instead of pronouncing each word in isolation and precisely, words tend to flow together, and certain sounds may be changed or eliminated, making the rhythm of speech faster and more natural. This phenomenon is critical in languages such as English, where native speakers rarely pronounce words as they would in a list or individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\"><h5>Tabla de contenidos<\/h5><ul><li><a href=\"#h-que-es-el-discurso-conectado-connected-speech-y-por-que-es-importante-en-la-ensenanza-de-ingles\" >What is connected speech and why is it important in English language teaching?<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-caracteristicas-del-discurso-conectado\" >Characteristics of connected speech:<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-por-que-es-importante-en-la-ensenanza-de-idiomas\" >Why is it important in language teaching?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/nav><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-caracteristicas-del-discurso-conectado\">Characteristics of connected speech:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Elision<\/strong>: Some sounds disappear in fast speech. For example, in <em>\u00abisland\u00bb<\/em>, el sonido \/s\/ se omite, pronunci\u00e1ndose como \/\u02c8a\u026a.l\u0259nd\/.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enlace o <em>Linking<\/em><\/strong>: Las palabras se conectan, especialmente cuando una palabra termina con el sonido de una consonante y la siguiente comienza con el sonido de una vocal. Por ejemplo, <em>\u00abthis letter\u00bb<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assimilation<\/strong>: A sound changes to sound more like the one that follows it. For example, in <em>\u00abdon&#8217;t be\u00bb<\/em>, the \/t\/ in <em>\u00abdon&#8217;t\u00bb<\/em> may sound more like \/m\/ if the following word begins with a bilabial sound such as \/b\/.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduction or contraction<\/strong>: Words or syllables are reduced or pronounced weaker. A common example is <em>\u00abgoing to\u00bb<\/em>, that becomes <em>\u00abgonna\u00bb<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-por-que-es-importante-en-la-ensenanza-de-idiomas\"><strong>Why is it important in language teaching?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not too long ago that connected speech began to be taken into account in language learning and even today it is not yet present in many English teaching programs. However, it is very important both to speak better and to understand when we are spoken to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge for speakers of English as a second language is to understand native speakers. Especially, in the 21st century where the barriers between countries have faded and we communicate much more frequently with people from the other side of the world, and therefore with different accents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Por todo eso creemos que es importante incluirlo en los programas.\u00a0Para solicitar informaci\u00f3n sobre cursos, escrib\u00ednos por\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@nscidiomas.com\">e-mail<\/a>\u00a0or call us at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:+541139450205\">1539450205<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-get-in-touch\">Let&#8217;s get in touch!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-instagram-gallery\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nscidiomas.ok\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nscidiomas.ok\/<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es el discurso conectado (connected speech) y por qu\u00e9 es importante en la ense\u00f1anza de ingl\u00e9s?
