A brief study on the importance of intonation and its way of teaching
Intonation refers to the way the voice goes up and down in pitch,which is a foundamental part of the way expressing thoughts and attitude (Kelly,2000:86) Intonation is closely connected with stress;it is said to be the music of speech (Harmer,1983:11).Speaking English without intonation could be dull,monotonous and disfriendly.Thus intonation should be included in English pronunciation teaching,which will help learners toward better expressiveness.However,intonation is still a controversial matter whether it can be taught or not and the intonation itself is indeed nebulous and complex.In this article,the author will just focus on intonation teaching from itsattitudinal function and discourse function.
