The teaching of pronunciation is very important but is often neglected because there is a lack of confidence in foreign teachers to teach and English teachers sometimes lack the training and confidence to tackle pronunciation. Intonation is considered to be the variation in volume and pitch in a whole sentence and stress is more concerned with individual words. Techniques used to indicate intonation includes, using nonsense words, gesture, humming and singing and using the board, while techniques used to indicate stress includes, contrastive stress, the use of gesture, choral work, the board and stress marks. Activities that can be used to teach individual sounds are peer dictation, over emphasizing individual parts of a word, drawing diagrams of the mouth to show how a particular sound is made and tongue twisters.
