Abstract
This article, which attempts to familiarize the bachelor level students with the formation of twenty-four basic consonant sounds of English, is grounded on the qualitative explorative research design that employs syllables as categorical data and consonant sounds as variables under study. The article writer has endeavored to take divergent spellings through keen observation on the formation of diverse consonant sounds after going through the authentic books on the pronunciation of English sounds. Some words in which the particular spellings are silent are also pointed out for providing the students with additional information to suggest that some spellings remain silent in particular words. The students are provided with a brief glimpse about the position of the consonant sound in the words. This article is important to the students who have taken English as a major subject and to the teachers who have to teach speech sounds of English especially phonetics and phonology in the Department of English Education.
