The Reluctant TeacherThis extract from the Introduction to Out of Your Seats addresses some of the issues that cause language teachers' reluctance to engage in drama activities. |
Susan Hillyard and Eugenia Dell'Osa have chosen such great travel reading that they want to share it with the world. Can't blame them really. :-) They were flying Buenos Aires to Bolivia, I believe. Thanks for your support, Susan and Eugenia. |
Syllabus Stress Table
Task-based pronunciation teaching
Given that English word stress is a problem without a systematic solution, the Syllable Stress Table is an activity that focusses students' ears on the number of syllables in words, and then which of them is stressed. I have found that once students know this about a word and know that this is worth focussing on, they have more confidence in their pronunciation and they have a system for developing this aspect of English pronunciation.
