Regarding the importance of these features, teachers and programmers have tried to use computer software such as Praat to teach to language learners. Praat program can show clearly the aspects of prosody such as stress. It displays some acoustic features that are useful to give self-feedback in language class. English stress can be indicated by one or more of the following: pitch, intensity (loudness) and vowel duration. Thus, this paper explores how to utilize Praat, computer software for phonetic analysis, in training pronunciation skills especially stress for EFL learners. The results showed that Praat could enable learners to refine their word stress. By having direct visual feedback, students were able to actually observe the declination that they might not otherwise notice through listening only. This study also demonstrates that the training from Praat transferred to sound production as the students were able to produce these stress forms more clearly and naturally in a follow up task such as conversation task. Through the results of this study, this paper shows how EFL teachers and students can benefit greatly from this free and readily available open-source educational software. A. Previous studies of Utilizing Praat Software in Teaching Pronunciation Using praat software in teaching prosodic features to EFL learners has been studied by Bahman ,Hayati and Pourkhonic (2013) in Iranian EFL students context. The study is experimental that reveal the effectiveness of computer software (Praat) in helping students to acquire prosodic features of English language. There is a significant difference between the performances of control group and Experimental group. Teaching prosodic features (stress and intonation) in computerized environment and allow them to practice what they have learned with computer, can help them to acquire these features well. Consequently it affects their pronunciation and accent. The results of this study are in line with the outcomes of some of the studies having been done in the domain of teaching prosodic features through the CALL system. Hardison (2003; 2004), for instance, emphasized the importance of using CALL on teaching prosodic

In order to do the task successfully, students need metacognitive skill because they need to think about the task, plan for the task, monitor the task, and evaluate how well they have done the task. To reach this purpose, teachers need to facilitate the process through strategy instruction, especially metacognitive strategy instruction. By applying metacognitive strategies, students will be more aware of the importance of their active role in their learning. This paper is intended to present metacognitive strategy instruction adopting Oxford’ metacognitive strategies to enhance EFL students’ oral presentation skill in their speaking class and the students’ responses toward the strategy instruction.

The students prefer to stop speaking. Therefore they need strategies to keep the communication on. Dealing with the problems, the present study investigates the lexical and grammatical communication problems that can be managed by communication strategies. An observation was done to 60 students in different levels of proficiency. it was revealed that there was a significant difference in the frequency and percentage of learners’ solved lexical problems (72.2 %) and grammatical problems (27.8%). The results drawn from these items were that EFL students used communication strategies on lexical problems are more frequent than used communication strategies on grammatical problems. This strategy is one small step towards clarifying the balanced of using communication strategy on lexical and grammatical problems in communication.
