| Issue 3. Connected speech
Another issue was observed while teaching higher- level Russian students deals with understanding a connected speech. The reason for this issue lies in the language difference. When Russian speakers talk, they do not connect words together. Moreover, Russian language is syllable- stressed (syllables have the same length), whereas English is stress- timed (syllables can be longer or shorter), what brings extra complications in the understanding process. Suggestion 3 Aim: to increase learners’ awareness how connected speech is formed to improve further listening comprehension skills Procedure: – Students listen to the first 5 sentences of the TED Talk by Sir Ken Robinson under the topic ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity’ – Students try to notice difficult parts which cause misunderstanding. – Students listen to the sentences again and write out stressed words – Teacher writes out the stressed words on the whiteboard and asks to reconstruct the sentences by listening to the recording again. – students learn about connected speech peculiarities by listening to the most challenging parts of sentences. Evaluation: By working on the elements of connected speech higher- level students can help in better understanding of spoken English in TED Talks. We should actively encourage them to listen to more talks of the same kind, because each presenter has his/her own peculiarities the way he/she talks. Issue 4. Intonation Intonation has a great influence on the meaning of what a person is saying, his attitude to the subject of narration [9, c. 86]. To be exact, meaning is communicated through the fall and rise in the voice (tone). Being Russian and teaching in a higher- level monolingual group of Russians it has always been controversial to my them to understand some intonational patterns and what meanings they convey. The problem occurs due to the fact that some Russian intonational patterns differ from the English ones. As a result of it could cause misinterpretation of some information delivered in a presentation (a TED Talk). жүктеу/скачать 4.6 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
