Target Language As Above.: Language Analysis of Meaning, Pronunciation and Form (MPF)

This document outlines an analysis of meaning, pronunciation, and form (MPF) for three English words: occasion, unwrap, and envelope. For each word, the analysis identifies the key meaning, phonological features like syllable stress, and grammatical form. Anticipated problems with students' understanding of each aspect are described along with proposed solutions, such as using realia to demonstrate meaning or highlighting the stressed syllable. The purpose is to reflect on how to effectively teach these words' MPF to language learners.
