E. Presentation of the Lesson

a. The teacher will present the topic and the lesson objectives.
b. The teacher will discuss about the prosodic features of speech.
Prosody is the study of all elements of language that contribute toward acoustic or
rhythmic effects. This refers to the patterns of stress and intonation in speech.
These are the prosodic features of speech:

1. Volume – This refers to the degree of loudness or softness of voice when
communicating, which could affect perceptions of intended meaning.
2. Projection – This refers to changing one's voice depending on the situation or who one
is speaking to.
3. Pitch – This pertains to the degree of highness or lowness of tone or voice.
4. Stress – This is the degree of force or prominence given to a syllable or word. In other
words, this is the extra loudness given to a particular syllable or word in order to give
emphasis.
5. Intonation – This refers to the rise and fall of the voice when speaking.
6. Juncture – This refers to a brief pause or slight delay in the continuous flow of speech.
7. Tempo or speech rate – This refers to a person’s speaking rate or rate of speech.
1. Activity: I See Me!

a. The teacher will divide the class into five groups.
b. The teacher will ask each group to read the poem entitled “I Look in the Mirror”
by Helen H. Moore applying the 5 prosodic features.
c. These are the criteria for their presentation:
Stress - 3 points
Pause - 3 points
Pitch - 3 points
Volume - 3 points
Tempo - 3 points
Synchronization - 5 points
Total - 20 points
2. Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions to the students. The teacher may
rephrase the questions to facilitate students’ understanding.
a. What are the prosodic features of speech which are essential in speaking?
b. Why do we need to specify which syllable should be emphasized or
stressed?
c. Why do we have to pause when we speak?
d. Why do you think pitch changes are important when we read or speak?
e. Why do you believe that one of the most important factors to consider when
speaking is volume?
f. What is the importance of observing proper tempo when speaking or
reading?
3. Abstraction
Word stress is crucial to properly pronounce words in the English language. It
means that in multisyllabic words, some syllables are spoken with greater emphasis than
others. If you get word stress wrong, it might be difficult to understand you, as there are
several words which sound similar and can only be distinguished by word stress (in
spoken language).
Pauses help you to break down your thoughts into units when you speak. It
enables the speaker to breathe, to think ahead, and to enable listeners to think about
what has been stated. Pauses also provide opportunities for a change of pitch. Pauses
can be long, medium, or short in length, depending on the situation. As Mark Twain said,
“The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed
pause.”
Pitch is used to express our emotions and attitude through a change in our
intonation, or the tone of our voice. We also use this to express stress, or when we make
one syllable of a word l-o-n-g-e-r, LOUDER, and higher in pitch.
Volume is one of the most important factors to consider in reading or speaking
because when we speak for any length of time at the same volume (whether loud or
soft), it can put people to sleep. Just as gestures and body movement create visual
interest, varying your volume creates vocal interest. Emphasize target words or phrases
by speaking louder or softer (as appropriate).
Tempo or pace of speech can be varied to our mood of the moment. Fast
speech can convey urgency, whereas slower speech can be used for emphasis.
4. Application
The teacher will ask this question: Do you appreciate the prosodic features of
speech?
To show appreciation for these features, the teacher will let the students listen
to the speech that was played earlier and let them identify what prosodic features of
speech the speaker needs to improve.
IV. Evaluation
Identify the prosodic feature of speech described in each statement . Write your
answers on the blanks provided before the number.
____________ 1. This refers to a person's rate of speech or speaking rate.
____________ 2. This pertains to the brief stop when reading or speaking.
____________ 3. This refers to the loudness or softness of one's voice when
communicating, which can affect perceptions of intended meaning.
____________ 4. This pertains to the degree of highness or lowness of tone or voice.
____________ 5. This is the amount of emphasis or force given to a syllable or word.
V. Assignment
The teacher will ask the students to watch a current television show and think about how
the speaker of the show used the prosodic features of speech. Instruct students to use 1/2
crosswise sheet of paper. Let the learners choose at least 3 prosodic features only.
