Academic Development

Pronunciation:
Problems:
Phonology:
+ Diphthongs
+ Final consonants
Word Stress:
+ Syllables are stressed correctly often.
Sentence Stress and intonation
+ Intonation is too marked
Word linking is sometimes present
Content word stress is used effectively ( quite often)
Chunking of thought groups is used effectively ( quite often)
Action Plan:
- Focus on diphthongs
- Make note of words which cause confusion
- Practice conversation ( 30 min every day) -> say it out loud
- Keep watching TED since its guests are usually good communicators
