accent not important. Word stress is! Incorrect stress can lead to big misunderstanding. #eltchat

[HELTA @hamburgelta]

@theteacherjames I think focusing on it helps sts to improve, like w/ grammar or lexis #eltchat

[HELTA @hamburgelta]

@theteacherjames yes, but to raise awareness of pron they need to work with a script. Otherwise they might not notice the pron. #eltchat

[HELTA @hamburgelta]

pron work is different if working on individual words or if working on phrases. Like pron in chunks!

@theteacherjames no, students need to do something for it to work: Marking stress or intonation is goooood #eltchat

[HELTA @hamburgelta]

If students can't pronounce a word or phrase, they're less likely to use it. #eltchat
