To practise word stress you can:
1)
ask students to repeat words after you, exaggerating their pronunciation whilst
punching the air in time with the stressed syllables. Such activities can be fun if you get
some rhythm going.
2)
show students words whilst saying them and ask students which syllable the
stress falls on. A further activity is to group words that have stress on the same
syllable. For example, show students the words below and ask them to group the
words according to whether the stress falls on the first, second or third syllable.
Omission, understand, arrangement, normally, overflow, argument
Answers:
First syllable: normally, argument
Second syllable: arrangement, omission
