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?

-
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
