Practising Prosodic Features for Better Teacher Talk
Evaluation
These are the criteria for evaluation:
1. Clarity of speech: Are some words hard to understand? Do you mumble? Are word endings or beginnings too quiet or unclear?
2. Listening skills: Was the task clearly understood and directions followed accurately? Are all components there?
3. Fluency: Is your speech smooth, or do you hesitate and pause a lot? Do you repeat words and start over a lot? Do these pauses/hesitations interfere with your ability to communicate? Do you speak too quickly or too slowly?
4. Pronunciation: How was your rhythm? How was your sentence stress? Did you notice any word stress problems? How was your intonation? Did you notice any problems with specific sounds?
5. Speech has few pauses. No mispronunciation that would interfere with comprehension by a sympathetic native speaker
