I believe this has been one of the hardest units so far because it teaches phonetical structures that as the chapter indicates are very hard to grasp, especially when you are just reading them. I still find very hard to differentiate between intonation, rhythm and stress because they all depend on the what we want to...  [Read more]

It's hard to hear things such as the fall or rise of speech, particularly at the end of sentences. This unit...  [Read more]

Generally speaking, grammar acts like the trunk and branches of a tree. Whereas vocabulary and functions are the leaves that decorate the tree. When teaching vocabulary one must look at the similarity to the student's own language, similarity to English words already known, spelling, pronunciation, and appropriacy for how hard it could be for the students.
