Unit 6 Detective stories 教學設計
•to recognize the difference in stress when pronouncing the verb or the noun form of a word
teaching procedures
step 1. revision
how did you remember new words, especially the longer ones?
such as: detective, evidence, obviously, particularly
first, we should know how many syllables these words have, then divide these syllables.
de•tec•tive e•vi•dence ob•vious•ly par•ti•cu•lar•ly
when we read a word which has two or more than two syllables, we neeo to pay attention to its stress.
step 2. presentation
in english, when you pronounce words of more than one syllable, you often need to stress /
emphasis one of the syllables. in or der to stress a syllable, you need to say the syllable louder, and
often longer than the unstressed syllable. sometimes, changing the stress can change the meaning
of the word.
such as: “ ‘ob•ject’” is a noun. it means ‘a thing’.
“ ‘ob•ject’” is a verb. it means ‘to say that you disagree with something’.
step 3. listen & conclude
there are six pairs of words, listen to the tape, which syllable do you put the stress on?
listen to part b on page 108.
these are the noun form of the words we put the stress on the first syllable so that you
pronounce the words as nouns.
listen to part c on page 108.
these are the verb forms of the words we put the stress on the second syllable so that you
pronounce the words as verbs.
step 4. practice
1. listen to part c on page 108 carefully. try make notes of where the stress is. write a v if the word is pronounced as a verb, write a n if it is pronounced as a noun. then finish the exercise part d on page 108.
2. listen to part a on page 108, pay attention to the different stresses, practise pronouncing these parts of words correctly, then try to make sentences with other pairs of words.
