Thanks, very interesting, we covered all aspects of pronoucation intonation extra but I wasn't quite sure how to apply it to the real world, the example given makes a lot of sense. thanks. Looks like I may be another week till I start I have classes booked for next week starting Wednesday but Thursday is the Fesista so I figure they'll cancel again. I'm getting itchy to get teaching! As well I'll be stopping by booksellers on Thursday I see if they have it (or if I'm lucky Training Express will ) I'm also going to post some notices around the area and see what kind of response I get

um jer, that is a great example of sentence stress (rather than word stress)  . Rob, to learn more about pronunciation, I recommend you check out these two radio programs (they are downloadable so you can even play them for your students)... Stress in American EnglishThought Groups in Spoken EnglishYou might also want to brush up on the rules for the past tense pronunciation. There is some good information here.A good website for First Certificate support is this one.Good luck!

Well everyone I'm a happy man today I picked up my TEFL certificate today  I also stopped by Booksellers to check out the books, ouch those things are expensive I bought the English pronoucation in use book, 35 euros  Natasha suggested next time stopping by Petras, she said a lot of teachers drop there books off there. Think I'll do that next time.
