Lesson Plan

• Demonstrate accurate pronunciation of target phonemes and word stress in multisyllabic words.
• Produce appropriate intonation patterns for different sentence types (questions, statements, lists, emotions).
• Apply connected‑speech techniques to speak fluently with natural rhythm.
• Self‑evaluate recorded speech using a checklist of pronunciation and intonation criteria.

• Projector and screen for slides/diagrams.
• Audio recordings of native speakers.
• Handouts with minimal‑pair lists and stress‑bingo cards.
• Smartphones or tablets for recording monologues.
• Whiteboard and markers for pitch‑contour sketches.
• Pronunciation/intonation checklist for peer feedback.

Begin with a short audio clip contrasting a flat delivery with expressive intonation, asking students what they notice. Review prior knowledge of stress and pitch from earlier lessons. Explain that today they will sharpen control of pronunciation and intonation to boost exam confidence.

1. Do‑Now (5') – Students listen to the audio clip and note three differences in meaning or feeling; share briefly.
2. Mini‑lecture (10') – Review phonemes, word stress, sentence stress, intonation contours, using projector and board.
3. Echo Drill & Minimal‑pair practice (12') – Teacher models target sounds; students repeat chorally then in pairs, focusing on problem phonemes.
4. Intonation Mapping (10') – Students draw pitch lines for sample sentences on handouts and discuss as a class.
5. Role‑Play with Feedback (15') – Pairs perform a short dialogue (exam prompt); peers use a checklist to note two pronunciation strengths and two intonation improvements.
6. Recording & Self‑Assessment (10') – Students record a 1‑minute monologue on a familiar topic, then listen and annotate mismatched pitch.
7. Stress Bingo (8') – Reinforce word‑stress patterns through an interactive bingo game.
8. Plenary (5') – Teacher summarises key tips; students complete an exit ticket stating one pronunciation goal and one intonation goal.

Recap the main strategies for controlling stress and pitch, highlighting how they improve clarity and confidence. Students submit their exit tickets and, for homework, record a short narrative using the learned techniques and bring the file for next‑lesson feedback.
