The Teachers' Room: Teaching word stress 

just teaching about word stress to my students a week ago and hope that I found this earlier. Thankyou anyway this is so useful! :)

I'm looking forward to more videos related to teaching from BBC Learning English - Teacher's Room. Thanks a lot for all of the techniques. They are extremely useful. Thanks, Shawn and Dan. You guys are amazing.

Thank you guys so much. The series is awesome and worth watching! I was wondering if you could give any tips on how words in English get stressed. What I mean is if there are any rules, observations, or patterns that teachers/students could discover so that there is no need for double-checking with dictionaries regarding the word stresses. Thank you a lot in advance!

I'm having soo much fun watching these videos. I'm so happy I came across this

Hey guys, Love love love your videos. Thanks for your dedication to making and sharing these videos. You're awesome!!

What an amazing video!!! I have another methodology for my pronunciation class that I combine the practising part with the game "clap the board". After teaching them how to pronounce words, I divide class into two groups and have them play game to revise what they have learnt. I write those words on the board and then read one aloud. The representative of one team who claps that word first and pronounce it correctly will get points for his team. At the end of the game, which team having more points will win the game with a giveaway prize. This method helps me much in preventing class from sleepiness.

I love your way of teaching English. Thank you so much !🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

Brilliant! I am in Listening/ Speaking process in stress patterns words & I hope more activities on stress words & sentences , please help me more now!

Thank you teachers. This video is so useful.

Hi, I have watched lots of episodes and I expect that this series will continue to update each week. I have applied the interesting ideas from your program into my practice both as a learner and a teacher.

It can help to list the ways in which stress is placed - volume, pitch or length, with the first being the most COmmon.

Hello Dan and Sian! Very useful and interesting programs, both Teacher' s room and Learner's question. I hope that you make more videos for beginners. For example, how to teach vocabulary like fruit, clothes, etc, for adults with limited formal education. What about teaching grammar for this specific group? Tips? I also hope you will make more videos showing us more teaching tips for online teaching in the Time of COVID-19.

I can see great chemistry among the teachers,good choice!

Thank you so much for the video. I can learn and understand more if the video has subtitles.

Could you please bbc learning english make episodes about poetry in which you explain rhyme, rhythm, methaphor, simily, personification, metonymy, etc.

loved the idea very much! pls pls i need more useful stuff.

Thank you teachers, just like what I do .. man I love teaching kids

"I'm a box kinda guy - I like squares, rigid"... ... draws a bunch of weird B shapes, instead of boxes! I'm a long way from being able to teach yet. But I think I've already decided I'll try teaching stress by stabbing the air at different heights as if I'm Christina Aguillera singing high and low notes.

I was wondering why in a didactical al video the subtitles are closed ...

thanks teachers amazing lesson we need more from your experience

Thanks for the great explanation, can you please tell how to use "this that these those their them they it" to refer to the part of previous sentense in an article with 2, 3 different paragraph. (Newspaper article)

Nice shirts! I love them.

I love you, guys!! Thank you. It will help a lot.

Wonderful teachers, thanks.

the best teachers in the world

Excellent video And I want that shirt. They could send it to Barranquilla. Colombia to Venezuelan 👏👏👏😎😎

Just came across your video, some great tips thank you. I can see you've done a video on intonation, but what about a more detailed one on SENTENCE STRESS? I have a private French student who really struggles with sounding 'natural'.

Good day! I am interested to include this video in the Teacher's Guide in English that I am making here in the Philippines so other English teachers would be aware that links and videos like this exist. This would really help them teach word stress In this connection, may I ask for your permission to mention the link and the title of this video in the said guide? Thank you so much! More power to BBC Learning English! Sincerely, Mark Cidro

Guys, you made my day ❤

Many thanks for the brilliant video. Love the t-shirts too, but I can't seem to be able to find them anywhere on your website. Could you please advise as to how we could get them? Cheers

Such a wonderful teachers👏👏👏

Might look a bit silly, but looks fun and effective! :)

I really want the video about this topic more because I try to pronouce the word in british accents and still be confused about the word stress. Sorry for my mistakes. I am not good in english enough!

Last part is hilarious 😂

Very useful but could you please teach the different kinds of stresses like primary, secondary and tertiary stresses?

Veeery useful lessons thank you

I want that t-shirt! I'm the student!

Both are amazing ! I like it

Hahahah I love you guys, you are so funny!! By the way, I really need some videos of intonation ( tones, tone unit, etc), I'm studying for being a teacher at university so I'll have exams soon. Can you help me? Thanks you so much ♥

Thank you, you're great!

so fun your video's greetings from Guatemala city 🙌🙌👋

I enjoyed so much

Interestingly, the funny ways actually shows two features of word stressing, LENGTH and PITCH.

Great video! Thanks a lot

Very good ideas. You could also - once they have heard right ways of pronouncing some words - illustrate the importance of correct word stress by deliberately placing stress over the wrong part of a word, like dinNER, e.g. Then compare this absurd sounding word with it spoken correctly - the more ridiculous the mistaken stress is, the better!

is there application of BBC learn English ?

I like boths teaching way😀

Interesting video

Very useful !

Thank you.

Nice guys!🎉

Loved it!

Sam always can catch a lot of attentions from audiences …..of course, Den is also a guy who can let us know what a smart British man’a look like.

I laughed so much I think I wet my knickers!😂

Really loved the different methods for teaching this, but shouldn't it be entitled "syllable" stress? I would indeed love to find another video with "word" stress in a sentence.

so great
