Teaching and learning new vocabulary has traditionally focused primarily on the definitions and parts of speech, but pronunciation is clearly an important factor in learning new words. Thus, teachers should facilitate this learning by not only explaining definitions but also demonstrating the pronunciation of these words.

Word stress, vowel and consonant sounds, and word endings are pronunciation features that are relevant to teaching and learning new vocabulary
