Foundations of Clear Speech

Produce English vowel sounds that distinguish minimal pairs (e.g., ship/sheep, bit/beat).

Produce English consonant sounds commonly mispronounced by Arabic speakers (e.g., /p/, /v/, /θ/).

Apply word stress patterns in common two- and three-syllable technical and general words.

Use sentence stress to emphasize key information in a spoken phrase.

Apply consonant-to-vowel linking between words to speak more smoothly (e.g., 'an apple').

Apply linking between identical consonant sounds for better flow (e.g., 'social life').

Recognize and apply common sound elisions in fast speech (e.g., 'next door').
