Pronunciation & Enunciation?
What's the difference between Pronunciation and enunciation? I have many students who's first language is a form of English but who cannot read English passages and be understood.

"Pronunciation" refers to which sounds one says and what stress patterns one uses. For example, does the pronunciation of data resemble "d-at-uh" or "day-tuh"? Is the pronunciation of formidable more like "FORmidable" or "forMIDable"?

Pronunciation is the verbal expression of words, sentences using the vocal cords, lips, tongue, mouth, and nose.
Enunciation is the type of pronunciation that produces very clear speech - eg. no slurring or muttering.
