摘　　要：本文通过对比主流语调理论在同一案例分析中的异同,探究大学英语语音教学中存在的语调教学框架与教学重点。首先经文献回顾后发现,语调作为语音和音系界面的接口,需引起学界的反思,并指出英语通用语更加契合当前语调教学的语境。其次,对比发现Gussenhoven语调理论在教学上更具灵活性。基于此,文章构建ELF理念下的语调教学框架,包括调群切分、语调重音与位置、语调意识与去调型化的可能性。另一方面,其教学重点从可理解性和表达性入手。前者表现集中在超音段层面,而后者涉及句法、语用和会话内信息分布三个维度。最后,文章基于口语语料库和ELF语音教学标准,展望语调理论在英语语音教学中的应用及研究价值。Based on a comparison between the similarities and differences in mainstream intonation theories applied in a single case analysis,this paper explores the significant framework and pivotal objectives for intonation teaching in university-level English phonetic teaching.Initially,resorted to literature review,the paper considers intonation as the interface between phonetics and phonology,which underscores the necessity for academic contemplation.Meanwhile,the paper argues that ELF is better suited to the contemporary educational contexts of English teaching.What’s more,Gussenhoven’s intonation theory,compared with the others,demonstrates much more flexibility for teaching purposes.In this respect,this paper,combined with the theory,proceeds to formulate an intonation teaching framework grounded in the principles of English as a Lingua Franca(ELF),encompassing aspects such as nucleus division,pitch accent and nucleus position identified,intonation awareness,and the possible elision for traditionally intonational stereotypes.On the other hand,the teaching key points are then outlined by“mutual intelligibility”and“the capacity for identity.”The former highlights the suprasegmental features while the latter delves into three dimensions:syntax,pragmatics,and information distribution within discourse.Eventually,the paper anticipates new research avenues in applying intonation theories to English phonetic teaching,fueled by the utilization of spoken corpora and established ELF-based phonetic teaching standards,which are all contributing to the following researches.
