Not all stressed syllables are of equal importance. Some stressed syllables have greater prominence than others, and form the nucleus, or focal point, of an intonation pattern. We may describe a nucleus as a strongly stressed syllable which marks a major change of pitch direction, i.e. where the pitch goes up or down.

You will need some knowledge of English intonation patterns if you are to understand English grammar more fully. This is because features of intonation are important for signalling grammatical distinctions, such as that between statements and questions. For example, a sentence like They are leaving can be a statement when said with falling intonation, but a question with rising intonation.

What is the importance of the intonation for speaking english?

Spoken and written English do not have different grammars, but the shared English grammar is used differently on the two channels.

The summaries of ‘Deutsche Kastanien’ by students from France and Germany confirm my hypothesis that the genre summary (French résumé, GermanZusammenfassung) is a culturallymarked genre. Representative samples of each cultural group are reproduced below. They show that the summaries by the American and French learners of German (cf. summary 7) remain close to the human interest story and its factual aspects, whereas the summaries by the German native speakers (summaries 8, 9 and 10) focus on the larger problem, of which Ender’s story is only an illustration.

The postmethod condition is a sustainable state of affairs that compels us to fundamentally restructure our view of language teaching and teacher education. It urges us to review the character and content of classroom teaching in all its pedagogical and ideological perspectives. It drives us to streamline our teacher education by refiguring the reified relationship between theory and practice.

In a recent interpretation of the learning objectives of communicative language teaching, Savignon (2002, p. 114– 115) considers the five goal areas, (known as Five Cs: communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities) agreed upon as National Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the United States as representing a holistic, communicative approach to language learning. In this way, the cultures goal area

English can not be treated as a homogenous and stable Entity. The English language is spoken by many people in different places. So language identities can be formed outside predefined national and linguistic communities. In this way teachers and researchers
