Explore English heteronyms and how to use them the right way.

Description

Description:

Welcome to a lively and engaging lesson all about English heteronyms — those curious words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on their meaning!

In this session, learners will explore how context and word stress can completely change how a word sounds and what it means. Think of "lead" (to guide) and "lead" (a metal), or "record" (a noun) and "record" (a verb). It’s a fantastic opportunity to sharpen both your listening and speaking skills, especially your pronunciation, intonation, and stress patterns.

What’s Covered:

 

  • What heteronyms are and how they work in English

  • Common heteronyms: meanings, pronunciation, and usage

  • Word stress in nouns vs verbs (e.g., present vs present)

  • Fun speaking and roleplay exercises to reinforce context and meaning

  • Vocabulary expansion and reading aloud

Methodology:

My teaching style is interactive, supportive, and practical. I use:

  • Context-rich examples to help words come alive

  • Drills and repetition for clear pronunciation

  • Mini dialogues and role plays to reinforce stress and meaning

  • Visuals and simple charts to highlight patterns

Who is this lesson for?

This lesson is perfect for A2 to B2 level learners, especially those who:

  • Struggle with pronunciation or confidence when speaking

  • Want to understand how English rhythm and stress work

  • Are confused when the same word seems to “change” in different sentences

  • Enjoy discovering fun quirks of the English language!
