Internet Savvy Study Tips for Online Learners 1. Write or record Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia.com, can be a valuable resource for students. Read the articles related to your topic of study. If there is any information missing, add it. Writing the ideas in your own words will help you internalize the topic. If the articles are complete, consider reading them aloud for the Spoken Wikipedia Project. Reading the information will help you remember it. Additionally, your recording will help other Wikipedia users in the future. Do keep in mind that Wikipedia is user-edited and contains errors – it's a good idea to double check all information before committing it to memory.

2. Join a discussion group. Joining a discussion group can help you find answers to your questions and retain enthusiasm for your subject. If your class doesn't already have a discussion group, consider joining one on Yahoo Groups or Google Groups. There are thousands of groups on everything from classic literature to computer science. You can even create your own page and invite class members to join you in a virtual study group.

3. Post your reading notes online. Posting your notes for public scrutiny will encourage you to verify the information and present the facts in the most comprehensible way possible. Plus, your notes will help others prepare for their own assignments. Try a free public note sharing website such as dropbox.com, or use the Open Campus My Notes tool.

4. Create online flash cards. If you have to memorize terms and definitions, skip the index cards. Instead, try an online flash card maker. These websites allow students to create, share, study, and print cards from their computers. Check out Flash Card Exchange, Flash Card Maker, or The Amazing Flash Card Machine.

5. Broadcast a podcast. If you have the equipment and the know-how, creating a weekly (or monthly) podcast about what you're learning can be a fun way to really get to know your subject of study. Plus, other students will benefit from your productions. For an example of a student created podcast see Life of a Law Student. For more technical information, you may also want to check out the About.com podcasting site.

Finding new ways to study can help you overcome the monotony of old habits and keep learning fresh. These five study skills tips can help you get started; but, always keep your eyes open for unique ways you can put the web to work for your education.

Understanding Phonetics
Phonetics is the study of the minimal units that makes of langauge. For speech sounds they are vowels,consonants, melodies and rhythms. There are three (3) aspects of speepch sound or phonetics. These includes: articulatory phonetics, acousitic phonetics and auditory phonetics.

Articulatory- the study of the production of speech sounds (using palatography) Acoustic- the characteristic/study of the properties of the speech sound (using sound spectograph) Auditory- how the sound is percieved/ study of the perception of the sound. (how we percieve pronunciation)- ability vs performance.

Basic Ideas of Syntax
Some sentences can have bizarre meanings (semantics) but are syntactically well formed. Eg. Colorless green ideas sleep furiously. Therfore while the syntax affects the meaning of a sentence/ form, the meaning or semantics does not necessarily affect the syntax. Example: Sally ate, Sally *devoured. While ate does not necessarily need an object eg in Sally ate ann apple, devoured needs an object. Eg. Sally devoured an apple.
