    Bonjour,
    Si c'est l'accentuation de mots, tu peux l'illustrer avec des petits cerles pour les syllabes non accentuées, et un gros cercle pour les accentuées.
    Ex: photographer
    o O o o = 4 syllabes, accentuation sur la deuxième

    Ou alors ainsi: phoTOgrapher
    ou encore, comme à la fac: O1OO = 1 étant l'accentuation (mais peut-être un peu compliqué...)

    Si c'est pour enseigner les règles de l'accentuation, tu peux faire une liste (à apprendre par coeur). Mais pas très interessant pour des teens...

    Il n'y a pas mieux que des exemples pour qu'ils retiennent;

    Par exemple, on sait qu'avec le suffixe -ation, l'accent est sur la syllabe précédente: communiCAtion

    Et avec l'exemple, donnez d'autres mots qui exigent la même règle: particiPAtion, reLAtion...

    Si tu trouves une méthode, merci de la communiquer...
    Hope it helped

    Bonjour,
    Forgive me if I write to you in English as I don't think I could explain this in French!
    Following on from denia57's excellent idea, I use something similar, but I put cards around the room with different stress patterns on them. Ooo ooO etc, and when I read a word the students have to go to the part of the room with the correct stress card. It keeps them interested and involves a bit of total physical response. It's a bit noisy, however. I hope it helps you.
    Best wishes,
    chrislondon

    Hi , Here is a way that may help you teach the word stress .
    First of all teenagers needn't learn the rules in details but just feel the stressed syllable when you read.
    Write some words on the board and colour the stressed syllable,then you read enphasizing on the stressed syllable and ask them what they notice in pronunciation.Thry'll feel that the coulered syllable is highly and well pronounced.
    The next step ,you can give listening tasks.They copy some words ,listen to their teacher and put the stress on the right syllable by putting the(')symble of stress.
    If rules are necessary ,just simple ones according to their sullabus
    I hope it will help you.

    Bonjour,
    Je peux vous proposer:
    1. "Initiation raisonnée à la phonétique de l'anglais" avec un CD de Richard Lilly et Michel Viel, publié chez Hachette Supérieur.
    2. Il y a aussi "La prononciation de l'anglais. Règles phonologiques", toujours des mêmes auteurs.
    Je les utilise depuis des années et ils sont très bien, à mon avis. De plus, leurs auteurs furent mes professeurs à la fac.
    Vous y trouverez différentes règles d'accentuation et de transformations vocaliques.
    Hopefully it will be helpful...

    I wanted to ask a question,in stress, sometimes it(stress):? is on the first syllable, sometimes on the second and sometimes on the third, is there any rule for that? I don't know how to teach it for my pupils, they have it in the bac, it's very important. Thanks

    Thanks a lot for all these answers, but you haven't understood me, I know that the symbols are easy but I wanted a rule. It is not always the first syllable to stress. Eg a 'present to pre'sent. You've seen that when it is a verb the stress is on the second syllable, but when it is a noun it is on the first syllable.Here I can't find a general rule for the stress. My pupils always ask me to give them a rule because they can't know all the words in English.

    bonjour!pour ma part, je pourrais vous conseiller ce livre, qui m'a été très utile et simple d'accès:
    Règles et exercices de prononciation anglaise, de Lionel Guierre

    par ailleurs, ce livre était le livre de référence dans mon université.

    dear,mazigh07,there is no general rules for the stress! just like in french there are plenty exceptions and you can't have all explanations by gramatical rules. but a good dictionary which gives the prononciation and shows which sylable is stressed of most of the words can help, students have to get a strong habit to use a dictionary, especialy when they do their homeworks.
    check as well this link: Lien Internet
    it explains very well the phonetics.

    there are rules actually but lots of exceptions too.

    The thing is that it's hard for students from high school to learn those rules because there are too many and it's too theoretical. It's more aimed at university students.

    Mazigh07, you talked about the words : 'a present' and 'to present'. That's the rule actually for two-syllable words. The stress is on the first when it's a noun and on the second when it's a verb. Many words follow that rule.

    The more important is to look at the word's environment: number of syllables, suffixes, prefixes... and the rule changes according to them.

    For instance, words which end with -ing, -ish, -ist, -ive, -ize, -ly, -ment, -ness, -or, -ship do no affect the words'stress=


    in'vest= in'vestMENT


    There is a list of these rules but I'm not sure it's available on the internet.


    Good luck with pho'netics...

    There are two very simple rules about word stress:
    1. One word has only one stress. (One word cannot have two stresses. If you hear two stresses, you hear two words. Two stresses cannot be one word. It is true that there can be a "secondary" stress in some words. But a secondary stress is much smaller than the main [primary] stress, and is only used in long words.)
    2. We can only stress vowels, not consonants.
    1 Stress on first syllable
    rule example
    Most 2-syllable nouns PRESent, EXport, CHIna, TAble
    Most 2-syllable adjectives PRESent, SLENder, CLEVer, HAPpy
    2 Stress on last syllable
    rule example
    Most 2-syllable verbs to preSENT, to exPORT, to deCIDE, to beGIN
    3 Stress on penultimate syllable (penultimate = second from end)
    rule example
    Words ending in -ic GRAPHic, geoGRAPHic, geoLOGic
    Words ending in -sion and -tion teleVIsion, reveLAtion
    4 Stress on ante-penultimate syllable (ante-penultimate = third from end)
    rule example
    Words ending in -cy, -ty, -phy and -gy deMOcracy, dependaBIlity, phoTOgraphy, geOLogy
    Words ending in -al CRItical, geoLOGical
    5 Compound words (words with two parts)
    rule example
    For compound nouns, the stress is on the first part BLACKbird, GREENhouse
    For compound adjectives, the stress is on the second part bad-TEMpered, old-FASHioned
    For compound verbs, the stress is on the second part to underSTAND, to overFLOW
