Speech articulation refers to the clear and precise pronunciation of sounds and words. It involves the coordination of lips, tongue, teeth, and palate to produce speech sounds accurately. Good articulation enhances communication effectiveness, making it easier for listeners to understand the speaker's message. Proper practice and techniques can enhance articulation skills, benefiting both personal and educational interactions.
