Hi Pierre,

This sounds interesting! Let me know when something is in the works! ;-)

“Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.” -Gandhi

I love it! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Marian! Welcome to eduFire! Let me know when you have a class on Audacity! :-)

Just been reading through this whole thread and found it really interesting, especially Alaia’s point about the shifting stress depending on the part of speech. When teaching pronunciation I think it’s useful to make students aware of these patterns as they can be generalised. In most two syllable noun/verbs pairs the stress shifts from the first syllable in a noun to the second syllable in a verb e.g.

a record to record
an import to import
refuse to refuse

If you come across it a great book on teaching pronuncation is Sound Foundations: Learning and Teaching Pronunciation by Adrian Underhill

Seats are still available! Sign up today! :)

There’s “aluminum” as opposed to “aluminium”…. one of my personal favorites ;-)

Hi Terry! You’ve chosen wisely! ;-) I’m sure you’ll have a great time here! Here’s a link for the next teacher orientation http://edufire.com/classes/11373-teacher-orientation

There’s also one on Thursday if that time doesn’t suit you! Enjoy!

I’m so happy this thread got revived again! Thanks Fikry! So, can you guys things of any other examples?

Hi Momen! Welcome to eduFire! I hope your first class is a success! :-)
