The document discusses stress and intonation in English. It explains that English is a stress-timed language, where stressed syllables occur at regular intervals and unstressed syllables are shortened. In contrast, languages like French and Spanish are syllable-timed, where each syllable takes approximately the same amount of time. The document also discusses sentence stress patterns in English, distinguishing between content words that are stressed and structure words that are unstressed. Finally, it outlines several basic intonation patterns in English involving rising and falling pitch.
Phnotactics The linguistic term for possible phoneme combinations
Teachers who are awere of the demands of learning English for their ELLs and the specific linguistic needs based on students primary language are more effective during second langauge instruction.
This Power Point presentation defines syntax and describes seven syntax rules for the English Language. The Presentation also discusses four issues English Language Learners find so difficult when it comes to learning and acquiring ESL.
1/The word “ Phone” means sound and “tics” means scientific or systematic study of something. So we can say that Phonetics means scientific or systematic study of human speech sounds.
Phonetics is general study of all human speech sounds and how they are produced, transmitted and received.
2/Phonology is the study of the sound system of particulars human languages, include dialects and other language varieties.
This is my 1st semester assignment on "Pronunciation" topic. This assignment will help the reader to understand how to pronounce English phonemes correctly. International Phonetic Alphabet is the tool for English students to practice their pronunciation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Intonation
▸ The English language is often referred to as stress-timed.
This means that stress in a spoken sentence occurs at regular
intervals and the length it takes to say something depends on
the number of stressed syllables rather than the number of
syllables itself.
▸ A stress-timed language is a language where the stressed
syllables are said at approximately regular intervals, and
unstressed syllables shorten to fit this rhythm. Stress-timed
languages can be compared with syllable-timed ones, where
each syllable takes roughly the same amount of time.

3. Intonation
▸ A syllable-timed language is a language whose syllables
take approximately equal amounts of time to pronounce. It can
be compared with a stress-timed language, where there is
approximately the same amount of time between stressed
syllables.
▸ Learners whose first language can be described as syllable-
timed often have problems recognizing and then producing
features of English such as contractions, main and secondary
stress, and elision.
▸ English, German and Arabic are examples of stress-timed
languages, while French, Spanish and Japanese are syllable-
timed.

4. Intonation
▸ Try saying each one of the four
sentences below in 4 seconds:
▸ · 1, 2, 3, 4,
▸ · 1 and 2 and 3 and 4
▸ · 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4
▸ · 1 and then a 2 and then a 3 and
then a 4

5. Intonation
▸ The four sentences take the same length of
time to say and you will notice the numbers are
stressed and the unstressed words in between
are said much more quickly in order to keep the
rhythm of the language.
▸ In other languages, which are not stress-timed
the stress would fall more equally on each
word and syllable.

▸ In other languages, which are not stress-timed
the stress would fall more equally on each

8. Sentence Stress
▸ Where word stress is the accent on one syllable
in a word, sentence stress is accent on certain
words within a sentence. Often considered to
be the "rhythm" of English.
▸ Stress timing can help speakers communicate
meaning. Learners need to be made aware of
the fact that the way they say something can
affect its meaning.

9. Two types of words in a sentence
▸ Content words – the main words of a sentence
that have sense or meaning
▸ Structure words – these are small, simple, not
very important words that make the sentence
grammatically correct
9
10. Two types of words in a sentence
▸ Sentence stress - specific rules (there are
many exceptions to these rules), these rules
are for normal or neutral stress
▸ • content words – stressed
▸ • structure words – unstressed
▸ • time between stressed words – always the
same
10
11. Content Words
▸ main verbs – sell, give, employ
▸ nouns – car, music, Mary
▸ adjectives – red, big, interesting
▸ adverbs – quickly, loudly, never
▸ negative auxiliaries – don’t, aren’t, can’t
11
12. Structure Words
▸ pronouns – I, he, she, we, they
▸ prepositions – on, at, into
▸ articles – a, an, the
▸ conjunctions – and, but, because
▸ auxiliary verbs – do, be, have, can, must
▸ “to be” as a main verb – is, are, was
12
13. Exception!
▸ occasionally a structure word is stressed to
correct information.
▸ “Have you seen my shoes?”
“No, I haven’t, but she has.”
▸ Can you do the dishes after you have finished your
lunch?

14. Example
1. I didn't say he stole the money.
2. I didn't say he stole the money.
3. I didn't say he stole the money.
4. I didn't say he stole the money.
5. I didn't say he stole the money.
6. I didn't say he stole the money.
7. I didn't say he stole the money.
14
15. Example
1. I didn't say he stole the money, someone else said it.
2. I didn't say he stole the money, that's not true at all.
3. I didn't say he stole the money, I only suggested the
possibility.
4. I didn't say he stole the money, I think someone else took
it.
5. I didn't say he stole the money, maybe he just borrowed it.
6. I didn't say he stole the money, but rather some other
money.
7. I didn't say he stole the money, he may have taken some
jewelry.15
16. After you have mastered first-word or second-word stress, you can go on the more
complex intonation:
It's a pot.
It's new.
It's a new pot.
It's brand new.
It's a brand new pot.
It's a tea pot.
It's a new tea pot.
It's a brand new tea pot.
It's a tea pot lid.
It's a new tea pot lid.
It's a brand new tea pot lid.16
17. Intonation
Intonation refers to the tune or melodic flow of pattern of
what we say. There is a notable rise and fall of the pitch
level. This is determined by the mind and attitude of the
speaker, and partly by the grammatical structure of his
speech.
17
18. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
The low, normal and high are most commonly used tunes
in intonation patterns of Standard American English.
Extra high tune is used only when expressing extreme
fear, anger, surprise or excitement.
▸ Rising – Falling Intonation or 2-3-1
▸ Rising Intonation or 2-3-3
▸ Non-final Intonation or 2-3-2
18
19. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
shift – the movement from one tone to another;
indicated by a straight vertical line
it is shift when the stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable or syllables.
Glide – movement within a syllable is marked by a diagonally- curbed line called
inflection. When the stressed syllable is the last words in the sentence, inflection is
used. The vowel is prolonged in an inflection in order that the pitch change may be
distinctly heard.

20. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
▸ This type of intonation pattern is normally used at the end of the following
sentences:
▸ Declarative sentences
▸ This is my sister.
▸ 2 3 1
▸ Imperative sentences or commands
▸ Close the window.
▸ 2 3 1
▸ Special questions that begin with interrogative words such as what, who, why, etc.
are used in questions that can’t be answered by yes or no.
▸ Who is coming?
▸ 2 3 1
20
21. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
▸ Rising Intonation or 2-3-3
▸ The tone of voice moves from normal to high.
▸ This is used at the end of questions which do not begin with interrogatives, but
which may be answered by yes or no.
▸ Are you ill? Will you come?
▸ 2 3 2 3
▸ Slow and deliberate counting
▸ One two three
▸ 2 3 2 3 2 3
▸ Enumeration
▸ Amy Lady
▸ 2 3 2 3
21
22. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
▸ Falling Intonation or 3-1
▸ Begins with a high a tune (3) and ends on a low one (1). This pattern is
used in one word and short command and in counting off numbers.
▸ Example:
▸ Dive run get it
▸ 3 1 3 1 3 1
22
23. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
▸ Non-final Intonation or 2-3-2
▸ Non-final intonation varies from speaker to speaker with little
corresponding variation in meaning. In normal speech, intonation is heard not only at
the end of the sentence but also in the sentence itself.
▸ The non-final pattern may be used in the situation below in the
combination with the rising-falling (2-3-1) or rising (2-3-3) intonation patterns.
▸
23
24. BASIC INTONATION PATTERNS
▸ In a function or content words which are specially stressed that precede the last
stressed word.
▸ Example:
▸ Are they ready to sing?
▸ 2 3 2 3
▸ In comparison and contrast
▸ Example:
▸ I’m looking for a blue book not a red book.
▸ 2 3 2 3 1
▸ On sentences where two or more thought groups are divided by short pauses.
▸ Example:
▸ If she leaves now, you have to go with her.
▸ 2 3 2 3 1
▸ Exercise:
