B. Lesson proper
I. Activity

a. Review
Do you all remember the previous lesson Yes, sir! They talk about syllable.
that discussed sir Daniel.
That when we stress a syllable, we reduce
the other syllable.

In this lesson we’re going to keep talking

about stress to distinguish the words with
the same spelling but with different
pronunciation, but we’re going to focus it
on the stress for nouns and verb.

C. ANALYSIS
Well, we have a simple rule for nouns. What kind of rules is that sir?

For nouns we stress the first syllable.

This column 1 is for noun so I’m going to

stress the first syllable, but for verb we
stress the second syllable. Okay, Sir

What does it mean to reduce the syllable? Sir, eliminating the syllable with the
weakest stress or shortening it to sound.

Class, To make it short how can I make it

short by pronouncing the vowels as walk Sir, a.a.a
which is a, a, a,

But how can I use it as verb? Sir, to stress the syllable.

So, I’m going to stress the second syllable. Okay, sir!

what would happen for the first syllable? Sir, it will be reduced.

Class, it will be reduced, it to be very

short, when the syllable make it longer in
louder.

Another, do we improve our speaking Sir, stress and intonation are important
through Stress and Intonation? because they assist in communicating
additional meaning to an utterance.

Class, Words can be divided into two

Syllable, some Syllable are pronounced
with more force than others. This force or
emphasis given to a particular syllable Okay, sir!
when pronouncing a word is called stress.

Let us look the example.

You can divide the word ‘’Member’’

Into two syllables when you say the word
out loud.

The first syllable is given more emphasis ‘’

‘’Mem-ber’’ this means that the first Mem-ber
syllable is unstressed while the second
syllable is stressed

Unstressed Stressed

Everybody read!

‘’Mem-ber’’
 INTONATION

It is the accuracy of the pitch or the

highness or lowness or one’s voice.

What is pitch? What is it important in Sir, to communicate nuances of meaning

communication and keep the listener engaged.

Class pitch is also used to emphasize

something when we speak. There are two
main patterns of Intonation, they are the
Rising Intonation and Falling
Intonation.

Rising Intonation means the pitch rises at

the end of sentence.

Take a look at the example and read them

a loud.

Sentence
1. Was the exam hard?

 It is rising or falling? Yes or No. Yes, Sir!

2. I finish the race!

 Rising or falling Sir, it’s not rising or falling, that is

exclamation point.

How do you know that is

exclamation point? Sir, because of the symbol!

‘’Very good but Class, it is rising. Why,

because the pitch rises at the end of
sentence’’
3. Am I pretty? Okay, sir!

 It is rising or falling? Yes or No.

Yes, sir!
Okay. Without intonation, it’s impossible
to understand the expressions and
thoughts that go with words.

Next, Falling Intonation is common in WH

question.

Here the example of sentence.

Example:
Why are you sad?
Who won the crown?
Where have you been? Why are you sad?
Who won the crown?
(Repeat after me) Where have you been?

Question that, go down in pitch at the end

are all other types of question, moreover
falling Intonation is used for asking and
giving information in normal, quiet.

D. ABSTRACTION

Class, what is intonation and stress in

pronunciation?
Sir, Intonation is the alternation of voice
pitch or tone when speaking, and stress
is the use of emphasis to capture
attention and express meaning.

Class, What’s the importance of proper

stress, correct pronunciation and
intonation in communication?
Why sentence stress refers to certain
Sir, Intonation and stress are important
because they assist in communicating
additional meaning to an utterance. It helps
to strengthen a specific meaning, attitude, or
emotion in an utterance.
words in a sentence that are given
importance? Sir, in English, we stress content words
because they are essential to the
meaning of the sentence.
When we say certain words more loudly
and with more emphasis than others.

In general, shorter words or words that

are clear from the context don't get Yes sir.
stressed.

Appropriate sentence stress and Sir, Normally this emphasis is on words

Intonation. that carry important information,
although this can change significantly,
depending on the specific meaning the
speaker wants to communicate.

Sir, We use fall-rise intonation at the end

of statements when we want to say that
we are not sure, or when we may have
more to add: I do↘n't support any
football team at the m↘om↗ent. (but I
may change my mind in future). It rained
every day in the firs↘t w↗eek

Class, what is Intonation? Intonation is a complex system of

meaning communicated through the rise
and fall of a speaker's voice. English
speakers use it to communicate many
different types of meaning: grammatical
meaning e.g. different types of questions
E. APPLICATION and statements.
