Demonstration Lesson Plan (4-A Method)

I. OBJECTIVE: Students are expected to correctly stress words in noun and verb forms.
II. LANGUAGE FOCUS: Noun-Verb Syllable Stress
III. PROCEDURE (4-A METHOD)
Motivation Question: Post the word ‘record’ on the board. Ask the students to
read the word and elicit ideas about its meaning.

Activity: Introduce two sentences using the word ‘record.’ Ask the
students to read the sentences and ask what ‘record’
means in each sentence.
1. I did not record our conversation.
2. Do you have a record of your birth?

Analysis: What have you noticed in the underlined words in terms


of their spelling? Are they pronounced similarly? Do they
mean the same in the sentences?

Abstraction:
 A stressed syllable is a syllable in a word that is longer and higher in pitch than the others.
 It may be denoted by an accent (‘).
 For example, I say the word ‘record’ (n.).
 The emphasis is given to the first syllable, so the accent must be seen over the vowel of the stressed
syllable – récord.
 There are certain English words that can be used as either nouns or verbs.
 Again class, what are nouns? Yes, nouns are naming words.
 And verbs? Okay, verbs are doing words.
 “I did not record our conversation.” In this sentence, the underlined word is used as a verb because it
does an action.
 “Do you have a record of your birth?” While here, the underlined word is used as a noun because it
names a thing.
 As you may have noticed, these two words are spelled the same way but pronounced differently.
 Their meanings differ based on how they are used in the sentences.
 General Rule:
most 2-syllable nouns most 2-syllable verbs
are stressed on the first are stressed on the
syllable second syllable

 Take note that this does not apply to all words that can be either nouns or verbs.
 This word (record) in the first sentence is used as a verb, and since this is a verb, the stress is on the
second syllable – recórd.
 Whereas this word (record) in the second sentence is used as a noun, and since this is a noun, the stress is
on the first syllable – récord.
 So, you cannot pronounce the word correctly unless it is in a sentence, because you need to know
whether it is a verb or noun.
 Other examples:

Noun form Verb form Sentence

an óbject to objéct I object to this object.


(a thing) (to oppose)

a désert to desért Lou decided to desert the village and


(a large, extremely dry (to abandon) teleported to a desert.
area of land)

a cóntent to contént I content myself with every content.


(a subject matter) (to satisfy)

1
Application: With your partner, make a dialogue using the words below
and correctly stress the word by pronouncing it appropriately,
depending on whether it is a noun or a verb.
Example: refund
A: Can I get a refund?
B: No! I cannot refund your money.

1. increase 3. rebel
2. contest

Generalization: How do you know if a word similar to a verb form is a


noun? How do you know if a word similar to a noun form
is a verb? How do you indicate a vowel of the stressed
syllable?

IV. EVALUATION: Read the sentences carefully. Stress the bold word correctly by putting an accent
(‘) above the vowel of the stressed syllable, and right below the bold word, write (n.) if it is a
noun or (v.) if it is a verb.

1. They have to replay the game. The replay is on Monday.


2. Due to the drought, the fields did not produce much produce this year.
3. He has foreseen that the value of the stock will decrease, which may result in a

4. You need to insert a paragraph here on this newspaper insert.
5. Luna’s assistance helped Kalix to progress quickly. She was amazed at his rapid
progress in English.

beginning of the sentence.
