Stress and intonation
9–Higher Ed · World languages · Practice speaking
What students see
Read these six words aloud with the correct stress, then use each one in a sentence. Finish by explaining how the stress changes the meaning of one of them.
Why it works
Students practice hearing and producing a difference that changes meaning, and you can replay exactly where it goes wrong.
How to run it
- Add it to your Space. The Topic comes with this prompt and these settings, and you can edit both.
- Share the Topic link with your students.
- Approve posts as they come in. Until then only the person who posted and Space admins can see them.
Make it yours
Choose word pairs your students confuse. Advanced classes can move from single words to full sentences.
