Language awareness in TESOL encompasses an educator’s understanding of the historical evolution of English, phonological principles, and accent variation. Part 1 explores how English has been shaped by socio-political forces and linguistic influences, providing educators with a deeper insight into its dynamic development. By addressing place and manner of articulation, rhythm, stress, intonation, and regional English varieties, TESOL practitioners can enhance students' pronunciation skills and cultural awareness. Additionally, recognising English’s linguistic commonalities with other Germanic and Romance languages facilitates vocabulary acquisition, helping learners draw connections between English and their native languages.
