You can help students practice intonation and sentencestress patterns by organizing chain drills round the class or groups. Students can practice asking and answering questions. It is fun to tell students some surprising information and ask them to respond with the correct phrase and intonation. Then they themselves can make up "crazy statements" for others in their group who have to respond with the correct intonation, for example:
Teacher: "My grandmother is 117".Students: "Really?" ↗
Teacher: "I went to the cinema six times last week". Student: "Did you?"↘
When teaching pronunciation remember:
* Give the students the chance to recognize sounds and patterns before you ask them to reproduce them.
* Students must know about the stressed and unstressed parts of a sentence so that they can get the rhythm of English right.
* Sentence stress tells us which parts of the sentence are important.
* We can change the meaning of the sentence by changing the stress and intonation.
* Correct word and sentencestress and intonation are just as important as getting the individual sounds right.
