I. The distinction between the sounds /ʃ/ (as in "she") and /tʃ/ (as in "chair") is a contrast between a fricative and an affricate.
II. The English phoneme /ɪ/ (as in "sit") and /i:/ (as in "seat") differ in both length and quality, with the latter being a tense, long vowel.
III. In English, stress can affect both meaning and grammatical category, as seen in words like "record" (noun) and "record" (verb), where the noun is stressed on the second syllable, and the verb on the first.

Flipped learning – could it work for you?
Exploring the benefits, challenges and tips for success
By Stephanie Hirschman
October 2, 2023
Flipped learning is very much a buzz word these days, and it’s worth thinking about whether this approach is suitable for your
lessons. It’s quite easy to define: whereas a more traditional model of teaching involves some sort of initial input (for example a
lecture or demonstration) followed by some sort of related output (for example a discussion or experiment) with some homework to follow, in flipped learning, this order is disrupted. Students do their homework before the class meets by watching a recorded lecture or video or reading an article. This enables them to spend the lesson time on activities which make a more significant contribution to their deep understanding and mastery of important ideas, for example, discussion, roleplay or presentations. It sits well within blended learning as the pre-lesson homework is likely to be accessed online, while the class activities are conducted face-to-face.
Why is it important?
Flipped learning makes good use of technology, allowing students to approach the input at their own level. Some may need to view a video several times more than would be possible in a group classroom setting, with frequent pauses and rewinding to ensure that they have recognized the main points. It’s also possible for students to explore other aspects of a topic, either using further links that the teacher provides, or finding other relevant resources to explore on their own. Finally, they can do the work when and where they wish, and even make use of otherwise “dead” time, like waiting for a bus.
How relevant is it for English language teaching (ELT)?
It’s important to recognize that flipped learning was not developed with ELT contexts in mind. In a language lesson, we may find
students reading a text about, say, major infrastructure projects, but this content is merely a vehicle for some other language point like expressing high numbers or making comparisons. During a conventional English lesson, the teacher would be guiding students through the text, encouraging prediction and other strategies and setting achievable reading or listening tasks to check basic understanding, before introducing key language points in a staged presentation. This would be followed by controlled practice and freer production. It’s not easy to see how this pattern of brief but meaningful interactive activities maps onto flipped learning. ELT texts, even at advanced levels, tend to be too short to be worth exploring in depth, unlike a 30-minute lecture or video that students of other subjects may be watching. Of course, it could be argued that the true content of the lesson, ie the language point, could be the subject of flipped learning, with students watching a presentation on this subject before the class meets. However, this removes the language point from an engaging and meaningful context and furthermore, working alone robs students of the opportunity to ask questions and discuss emergent ideas about meaning, which are key elements of communicative learning.
Tips for success
Nonetheless, it is possible to flip an ELT classroom, with some adjustments:
1. Flipped learning would suit certain types of ELT which are heavily content based, like CLIL or Business. Mature students are more likely to have the motivation required to implement this approach sensibly.
2. It makes sense to devote the final stages of a lesson to introducing the content that students will explore independently before the next class meeting. This should include a justification of why the content was chosen, how students should approach it and how they can check their understanding. Providing some comprehension questions is a minimum. If answers aren’t furnished, the next class meeting could open with an activity to discuss and check these.
3. The teacher must provide an easy and reliable way for students to access the content, for example via an online learning system.
4. It’s reasonable to expect that students will require training and a settling-in period, as they come to terms with the demands of the new system. It could even be worth trialing the routine during a face-to-face lesson, with students accessing content on their phones or laptops, and with some reminders about how to approach a reading text (for example skimming and scanning) or how to make good use of technology to ensure effective listening (for example, rewinding, user slower speed settings or making use of a tape script).
5. Because of the investment required in learner training, flipped learning will be tricky to implement in programs with continuous enrolment. It’s far more suitable for a setting with a termly or yearly intake date.
6. Even when the system is up and running, there will probably always be a number of students who have not prepared adequately for the lesson. This will affect how successful follow-up activities are and the teacher needs some strategies in place to address this.

Every language has, due to several factors, variations in its structure, speech, grammar and pronunciation. That is, in the
same language we may find different ways of speaking, that enrich even more the linguistic content and the dynamism in
communication. Some of these possibilities are related to the linguistic variations that occur in specific regions, namely, there
is a difference in words and phonemes, according to the place where certain language is spoken. For example, does a person
who was born in Rio Grande do Sul speak in the same way as someone who was born in Bahia? Certainly not. Each region
has its own variations of a same language. The same applies to international examples, such as The United States, England,
New Zealand, The Virgin Islands, and South Africa, to quote just a few of the locations where English is mainly spoken, in
different places and regions, different forms develop. This linguistic phenomenon happens in locations with different
cultures, habits, customs and traditions, thus creating other language structures, diverse lexicon, as well as sounds and
accents. The dimmension of linguistic variation described is:

How do most teachers use micro-dictations?
However ‘small’ they are, micro-dictations have great value! They can help students notice connected speech, which is what usually blocks their understanding in a listening lesson. The teacher reads the sentences or plays the recording. They repeat each sentence a few times. Example: He must have gone out.
Students listen and write what they hear.
The teacher now writes the sentence on the whiteboard and asks students to compare it to theirs.
Finally, the teacher asks: which part was difficult to understand and why?
