A good lo-tech video lesson on stress

This is by an American teacher. She'll keep reminding you of that but the lesson is dead on and easy. CELT and CELTA courses could easily drop this answer to What is stress? question on their candidates. Again video is much better than the printed page- it's what pronunciation teaching needs: Repeatable audio with visual cues to hang the ideas on. It isn't going to fix anyone's accent but it will help them notice a feature of pronunciation which is much more important than whether their th sounds like /θ/ or /ð/ or /t/ or /d/. Without further ado...

 

It just keeps getting easier to do this stuff.

This website lets you set up free transcription teaching classes.

I think you might want to give it a go if you are an EFL teacher trainer...



Logging on as a student is straightforward. I will leave a transcription for you to do if you want to try it.

The world is spinning faster and faster.
