Abstract
Equipping students with some basic tools of phonetics and phonology unlocks an unlimited supply of linguistic data for them to work on, opening up a variety of pedagogical ideas and approaches.In this chapter we provide some practical suggestions for incorporating awareness of phonetics/phonology into the secondary English classroom, and review recent 'myth-busting' research related to the phonetics and phonology of Key Stage 4/5 topics, including accents and dialects, child language acquisition, language change and forensic linguistics.We also recommend further reading and sources of language data.
