Evidence · no claims cited
Description¶
A five-step lesson pattern the digest offers as an instantiation of the communicative-cognitive framework. The teacher presents vocabulary with "both correct and incorrect word stress" and introduces the concept; learners identify stressed syllables in nonsense syllable sequences; they clap stress patterns of vocabulary words in unison; pairs read scripted dialogues while one marks stress patterns and they give one another feedback; finally learners give oral presentations assessed for correct production and evidence of self-monitoring of word stress.
Design Implications¶
