Hello and welcome to the Teachers Room show.
-
That's by teachers for teachers.
-
I am sure on this is done on this episode Topic is now.
-
Our introduction was quite flat, wasn't it?
-
Damn, it wasn't great.
-
Real act intonation.
-
Exactly.
-
And some of your students may also have difficulty with intonation, which makes them sound rude, foretell or interested.
-
So you need to help him help with intonation, especially when you're doing things like grammar or functional language that you're speaking.
-
You can mix in a little bit of intonation throughout your lesson on and have fun with intonation.
-
You can, for example, use humming dialogues over home.
-
Huh?
-
You could also give students one sentence and get them to say it in lots of different ways to highlight different emotions.
-
What you doing?
-
Surprised?
-
What are you doing?
-
Annoyed.
-
Angry?
-
Yeah, Mariya, what are you doing?
-
Finally, you can extend this idea to create role plays, getting students to write mini dialogs on, then have them annotate this dialogue with emotions and practice the intonation.
-
To be or not to be.
-
That is the question.
-
Do I also like to include activities?
-
The highlight in practice contrasted.
-
It's really good because that allows students to correct wrong information that's been set to them or highlight key word sentence.
-
Fun games with this.
-
Like correct me.
-
Marios bought a dog yesterday.
-
Marry a bought a frog?
-
Yes, marry.
-
I bought a dog yesterday.
-
Maria bought a dog yesterday.
-
Marios border dog yesterday marry Oh Stoller Dog?
-
Yes.
-
Berio bought a dog yesterday.
-
While it's not a good idea to get deeply into the theory of intonation with students, you can teach them some general rules and raise their awareness of these features.
-
For example, what happens with wh word questions that I believe they go down?
-
Is it the same for yes, No questions.
-
They go up.
-
Which question tags.
-
When you're confirming information, you already know use falling intonation, don't you?
-
Down.
-
That's correct.
-
On with lists.
-
OK, Sean, read the list.
-
Okay, so I bought an apple, a banana, a cat and a dog.
-
Very good.
-
Finally.
-
Do not be afraid to be dramatic with intonation over the top.
