Teach listening to connected speech and choosing natural phrases while keeping intelligibility, register, and learner identity at the center.
Natural speech varies across speakers and situations. This course helps learners recognize useful patterns and communicate appropriately; it does not require imitating one native-speaker model.
Choose a useful reference
Use a clear, permitted recording with a transcript and a context relevant to the learner. Compare careful and faster speech. Written respellings are approximate; dictionary audio or a real recording is better for checking sounds.
Recognition before imitation
Start with the message, then notice a reduction or link, compare the full form, and practise in context. Learners can understand gonna without choosing to say or write it. Formal writing normally uses the full form.
