learning objectives are to (a)
define intonation, (b)
distinguish between rising and
falling intonation, and (c) use
intonation in various situations
involving oral communication.
Discussion Alright class, so before we
begin, I would like to ask a
question.
(Students’ raises hand)
When we say "intonation," The use of pitch to convey
What does it mean? Anyone meaning while making a
from the class who would like statement or asking a question
to answer? is referred to as intonation.

Very well, intonation is the

rising and falling of the voice
when speaking. It is one of
speech's prosodic
characteristics.

Intonation is a speaker's voice's

rise and fall to convey a
complicated meaning system.
It is used by English speakers
to convey a variety of
meanings: grammatical
meaning, such as the various
kinds of statements and
questions. Status of the data, (Students’ raises hand)

secondary, finished or
incomplete.
Rising and falling intonations
are the two fundamental
intonation patterns in English.

Your intonation rises when we

use the term "rising
intonation," but when we use
the term "falling intonation,"
what happens to your (Students’ raises hand)
intonation? Falling Intonation.

Very well.

Here are examples. Repeat the

following examples of (Students’ raises hand)

while you listen. Each sentence

1. To complete a thought:

used?
Great job!

2. To ask a WH-question:
(Students’ raises hand)
How old are you?
Rising Intonation.
What’s the intonation pattern?
You’re right!

3. To express surprise:
Does your dog speak English?
Is it rising or falling
intonation?

Is he/she, correct?

4. Need clarification or
repetition:
Hi! (Rising intonation)
Does anybody have a dog?
Do you love pizza?
What pattern is present? Hi! (Falling intonation)

Alright! So, those are the

fundamental intonation
patterns that are utilized in (Students’ raises hand)

Your classmates will

Here’s the dialogue:

you. Falling/rising intonation
Alen: How was your vacation?
Kath: It was great fun. I stayed
on the farm the entire summer.
Alen: By the way, this is Neil,
my cousin.
Kath: Hello, Neil.
Neil: Hi, Kath. I heard a lot (Answers may vary.)
about you from Alen.
Kath: Was it all good?
Neil: All good. I’m very glad to
meet you. (Answers may vary.)
Alen: Excuse us, Dina.
Kath: Where are you going?
Alen: Mrs. Martinez wants to
see us right now.
Kath: Okay. See you in class.

Okay, it appears that you

already know how to employ
the two intonation patterns in a
variety of contexts. Now, who
wants to speak in a sentence
with falling intonation?

Well done.

How about rising intonation?

Very good!

Generalization What do you believe is the Utilizing intonation in daily

us avoid making mistakes.
