    This document outlines a 7-step process for IELTS pronunciation practice focusing on stress, intonation, and pausing to sound natural. The steps include finding an audio recording with transcript, focusing on a 30-60 second section, marking the stress/intonation/pausing in the transcript while listening, reading the section aloud using the same stress/intonation/pausing, recording yourself to compare, repeating until matching the recording closely, and practicing this daily for 5-10 minutes to improve pronunciation skills needed to score above a 6.0 on the IELTS exam.

    IELTS Pronunciation Practice: Using Stress/Intonation/Pausing to

    Sound Natural
    Step 1: Find a recording of a native speaker of English that includes transcripts. You can use
    abc.net.au/am (a news website), YouTube or Netflix w/ English subs, BBC 6-minute English,
    breakingnewsenglish.com, or newsinlevels.com.

    Step 2: Focus on a section of the recording – not the whole thing. A length of 30-60 seconds
    is good.

    Step 3: If possible, print a copy of the transcript and listen 1 or 2 times. While you listen,
    mark the stress, intonation, and pausing.

    Step 4: Now that you have a good idea of how the person used stress, intonation, and
    pausing in the recording, it’s your turn.

    Step 5: Read aloud the same section of the transcript and focus on using
    stress/intonation/pausing exactly the way you heard it. You should record yourself so that
    you can hear if you are doing it correctly. You may also notice that you are not correctly
    pronouncing individual sounds.

    Step 6: Compare the original recording with that of your own voice and notice any mistakes
    you made while reading along with the transcript.

    Step 7: Repeat the process until you sound very close to the recording in terms of s/i/p.

    This should be done every day until your test. I recommend that you practice in this way
    for 5 to 10 minutes. If you do this on a daily basis, you will start to sound more natural and
    improve your pronunciation score. If you want to get above a 6.0, you must be able to use
    stress, intonation and pausing with some consistency.
