Speech Work

Content: Word Stress

Stress is the quality or degree with which one pronounces a sound or a syllable. It is the force with which a sound is pronounced.

A stress syllable is indicated by placing a stroke at the beginning of the syllable or written in capital letters. A stressed vowel is one that is said with more energy, is louder and more prominent.

BEtter GARden

HOTly STRONGly

SEcond MAnner

WANted COMfort

However, a louder or higher tone does not always guarantee a stronger stressed syllable. By contrast, unstressed vowels are weak and not loud and sometimes not clearly heard.

Some Rules of Stress

Examples: buy, hawk, tone, eat etc.

Disyllabic words, that is, words with two syllables are mostly stressed on the first syllables when they are nouns and stressed on the second syllable when they are verbs. Though, there is an exception when a stressed syllable in a di – syllabic word is weak, the stress falls or shifts to the next syllable.

OBject obJECT

REcord reCORD

PREsent preSENT

Adjective	Verb
ABsent	abSENT
PREsent	preSENT

Other nouns are: BIScuit, BIble, PoLICE, POlish, poLITE(adj), MOney, MONkey etc.

The suffix ‘ion’ added to some words takes a stress on the preceding syllables i.e the syllable immediately before ‘ion’ as in: proMOtion, oCCAsion, persSUAsion, circuLAtion, calcuLAtion.
Syllables with central vowel /ә / or schwa are stressed. E.g: aBOUT, TEAcher, FAther, BUtter, PASture etc.
Syllables that end with syllabic /l,m,n/ are not stressed. E.g: LIttle, BUtton, COtton, ABle, enJOY, CAstle, SUckle.
Polysyllabic words that end with these suffixes “-ic, -ian, -ial, -sive” are stressed on the penultimate syllable i.e, second to the last syllable. E.g: draMAtic, speCIfic, imPREssive, coLOnial.
If the words end with these suffixes “-ate, -ity, -iate, -ise, -fy”, stress the third syllable counting from the last syllable. cerTIficate, capTIvity, FORtunate, EXercise.
Most words ending with these suffixes “-sim, -ive, -ure, -ry, -ize” in four syllable words are stressed on the 4 th syllable from the end. Capitalism, comfortable, profitable, legislative, agriculture, personalise, nationalize.
Words ending with these suffixes (-ogy, -phy, -cal, -ant, -ment) are stressed on 3 rd syllable from the end.

What are formal letters? These are business or official letters. They are sent to holders of posts and not to particular persons. These types of letters include letters of applicants, letters in answer to an advertisement, commercial correspondence, letters of references and testimonials. The person who receives such a letter is interested to know about the matter that caused you to write, not about your personal life or a problem . He is also unimpressed by your praises of him or your concern for his health and that of his family, so, in the introduction of such a letter, avoid unwarranted or distracting preambles.

Features of Formal Letters:

Address: This kind of letter requires two addresses – the writer’s address and the address of the reader or recipient. The writer’s address should be at the top right hand corner of the writing materials as in the informal letter. The address of the recipient should come below the date but as the left hand corner.

Writing Skill

Content: To Learn the Use of a Topic Sentence.

The first sentence of a paragraph often tells the reader what the paragraph will be about. This helps the reader. For example, paragraph 5 of the passage on page 141 of Effective English JSS 2 begins with the topic sentence: During his life, Mallam Aminu Kano held many important positions. The rest of the paragraph mentions some of these positions. Sometimes the first sentence only gives a clue on what the paragraph will be about. For example, paragraph 4 states….

When Mallam Aminu Kano became a politician, he did not join the Northern People’s Congress (NPC)… Since it tells us what he did not join, we can perhaps guess that the paragraph will tell us what party he did belong to, and so it does.

HOW THE ETHIOPIAN WOMAN TAMED HER HUSBAND

The woman thanked the medicine man and went away. When she came near to her home she sat down on a rock and began to think. ‘How shall I do this thing?’ surely it is impossible! It is true that there is a lion that often comes near my village, but he is fierce and roars fearfully’. Then she thought again and at last she knew what she had to do. And so, rising early next morning, she took a young lamb and went to the place where the lion was accustomed to stroll around. She waited anxiously . At last she saw the lion approaching. Now was the time . Quickly she arose and leaving the lamb in the path of the lion, she went home. And so it was that everyday, early in the morning, the woman would rise and take a young lamb to the lion. Soon, the lion came to know the woman, for she was always in the same place at the same time everyday with a young and tender lamb which she brought for his pleasure. She was indeed a kind and attentive woman.

It was not long before the lion began to wag his tail each time he saw her and coming close to her, he would let her stroke his head and soothe his back. And each day the woman would stay quietly stroking the lion, gently and lovingly. Then one day, when she knew that the lion trusted her, she carefully plucked three hairs from his mane and happily set out for the medicine man’s dwelling. ‘See!’ she said triumphantly as she entered. ‘Here you are!’ And she gave him the hairs from the lion’s mane. ‘How is it that you have been so clever?’ asked the medicine man in amazement?

1. What did the woman want the medicine man to do?

2. What did he tell her to get?

3. Why did the lion allow the woman to pluck hairs from its main?

4. What evidence in the story shows why the woman’s husband neglected her?

5a. Did the medicine man expect the woman to succeed in getting the hair?

5b. Support your answer with evidence from the story.

JSS 2 ENGLISH LANGUAGE WITH ASSIGNMENT

WEEK 8 LESSON

SUBJECT: ENGLISH LANGUAGE

TOPIC: SPEECHES – QUESTION TAG

CLASS: JSS 2

MEANING OF QUESTION TAG

Question tag is a device that we add to the end of statement to turn it into a question. It always appear at the end of the sentence and refer to the verb used in the clause before, as well as the subject (which is a noun or a personal pronoun in most cases) of the corresponding statement. Some examples for question tag in English Language are: positive tag and negative tag. Examples:

POSITIVE TAG NEGATIVE TAG

…do they? …don’t they?

…has she? …hasn’t she?

…are you? …aren’t you?

…will it? …won’t it?

…can we? …can’t we?

…is he? …isn’t he?

…could you? …couldn’t you?

…did he? …didn’t he?

In general, question tag are called tag question or question tails are used to elicit confirmation (i.e. to elicit or to make quite certain) or affirmation (i.e. to state something positively and firmly) for a statement for the person one is talking to.

This grammatical feature (question tag) can sometimes provoke problems (especially for learners of English as a foreign language) as the question tag always has to be adapted to the previous part of the statement. This means it has to be grammatically in accordance with it.

You should not feel that since positive statement takes negative tags or negative statement take positive tags, you can use any negative tag or positive tag you like for the positive or negative statement.

Let’s take a look at these statements and their tag.

STATEMENTS WRONG RIGHT

You will come tomorrow, willn’t you? won’t you?
You stole a book, stolen’t you? didn’t you?
He took Mr Obis car, tooket he? didn’t he?
You feel like dancing, fitn’t you? don’t you?
She plays the piano, playn’t she? doesn’t she?
Ada loves you, loven’t she? doesn’t she?

When you look at these statements and their question tag, you will notice that question tags in the first row are wrong while the ones in the second row are right. So when you want to use question tag for a statement, ensure that you do it grammatically. Also use comma (,) at the end of a statement for separation before putting question tag.

FORMATION OF QUESTION TAG

Take note of the following rules, when forming question tag.

If the statement is positive, a negative tag is needed.

For example :

I saw you, didn’t I?
They will go, won’t they?
If the statement is negative, a positive tag is needed.

For example :

They couldn’t defeat us, could they?
There wasn’t any delay, was there?
In a question tag, the personal pronoun (he, she, we, etc) is used in almost every case instead of a noun. It has to refer to the subject of a sentence which is often a noun or the same personal pronoun.
Ngozi has just left, hasn’t she?
Mina didn’t believe us, did she?
If an auxiliary verb (be, have, do etc) or a modal verb (must, can, would) appears in the statement, it has to be used in the tag question too. The main verb is not mentioned anymore. For example :
The house we bought was built in 2015, wasn’t it?

__the personal pronoun “it” refers to the subject “the house” of the corresponding sentence.

We have got a beautiful garden, haven’t we?

__here, the personal pronoun “we” is used in the tag question as well as in the subject.

If there is only a main verb present in the statement and no auxiliary verb, the question tag is formed with appropriate “do” verb (eg) do, does, did. And the tense has to be the same.
Amaka likes to do a lot of sports, doesn’t she?
We spent too much money yesterday, didn’t we?
If the statement is a request, “will or would ” are usually employed (used).

For example :

Pass me the sugar, would you?
Don’t be late, will you?
If the request include let’s, shall is the suitable question tag.
Let’s go shopping, shall we?
Whenever, “there is, there are, there where”, for showing that something exists is used, “there”needs to be applied in the question tag too.
There weren’t a lot of things left at the cell, were there?
If the statement is in the present tense, the tag is also in the present.
He reads a lot of books, doesn’t he?
She is in the classroom, isn’t she?
If the statement is in the past tense, the tag is also in the past tense.

For example:

Emeka was not in school yesterday, was he?
They knew that before, didn’t they?

Note that a tag varies according to the content of the statement.

PRODUCTION OF SPEECHES WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO QUESTIONS AND THEIR TAGS.

Dola : Ngozi is beautiful, isn’t she?

Blessing : Yes she is.

Ibiware : Ahmed is a Christian, isn’t he?

Osagie : No, he isn’t.

Emmanuel : You knew that before, didn’t you?

Amadi : Yes I did.

Prosper : I love my wife, don’t I?

Ebube : Yes you do.

Christian : Emma, the bride was happy, wasn’t she?

Emma : Yes she was.

USE OF APPROPRIATE STRESS AND INTONATION IN QUESTIONS AND THEIR TAGS.

Adanna is beautiful,↘isn’t She?↗
John was in school yesterday,↘wasn’t he?↗
Students must work hard,↘mustn’t they?↗
She isn’t very happy about her new job,↘is she?↗

WEEK TWO (2)

LESSON ONE: SPEECH WORK:

TITLE: CONSONANT /t/ and /d/ OR /p/ & /b/. – at the initial and final position.

Introduction: what is a consonant.

Consonant is speech sound which is produced with the obstruction of airstream. The obstruction could be partial or total. When consonant like /P/ is produced, the flow of air is obstructed by the lips. The obstruction here is called total obstruction because the flow of air is completely obstructed for a while. The important thing about the production of a consonant, therefore, is that there is always a degree of obstruction of the airstream from the lungs. The degree of obstruction of the air is one of the three important factors used in classifying the English consonant /P/ to articulate this sound, the upper and lower lips are brought together to obstruct the flow of airstream from the lungs. This obstruction does not last long as there is an immediate release of the air pressure which builds up. There is no vibration of the vocal cords while /P/ is produced. In all, /P/ is a voiceless bi-labial plosive.

Pronounce the following words where /P/ occurs at the beginning or end of the word:

Initial Position Final Position

Pat trap

Pin nip

Pus sup

Pool loop

Pack cap

/b/ – The of articulation of /b/ is similar of /P/. The lips are brought together to obstruct the air which is released with an explosive sound. The only different between /P/ and /b/ is that the vocal cords vibrate during the production of /b/ while they do not for /P/. that is why /b/ is voiced bilabial plosive.

The only spelling symbols for /b/ is “b” but “b” is not pronounced in some words especially where it comes before “t” or when it occur after “M” art the end of a word. Example of such words are: “debt”, “doubt”, “lamb” and “bomb”.

Pronounce the following words with /b/ at the initial and final position.

Initial Position Final Position

Bud dub

Bat tab

Bin nib

Bon nob

Bomb mob.

/t/ – To produce /t/, the tip of the tongue is in contact with the alveolar ridge and this contract obstruct the flow of air. On immediate release, the air pressure escapes with the usual sound. There is no vibration of the vocal cords since the glottis is wide open. This consonant is therefore, a voiceless alveolar plosive. There are many spelling symbols for /t/ and they are as follows:

“t” as in ten, tenth, talk

“tt” as in letter, little, settle

“th” as in Thames, think, thought

“ed” as in looked, hooked, cooked.

The “t” is not actually pronounced in words like “Christmas” “castle, wrestle, listen.

/t/ at the initial and final position.

Initial Position Final position

Tone note

Ten net

Tub but

Tell let

Tap pat

Tip pit

Take kate.

/d/ – The production of sound “d” involves the tip of the tongue in contact results in a total obstruction of airstream which is, however, released immediately with an explosive sound. The vocal cords vibrate as /d/ is produced. While /t/ is a voiceless alveolar plosive. The spelling symbols, for /d/ are “d” as in “did” and “ed” as in “moved”.

This consonant is almost always pronounced wherever is occurs in a word like “handsome”.

Pronounce the following word with /d/ at the initial and final positions:

Initial Position Final Position

Dam mad

Don nod

Down wound

Dog god

Deal lead.

Give two words each on the following sounds at the initial and final positions: /t/, /d/, /b/, /p/.

LESSON THREE: LITERATURE-IN-ENGLISH

TOPIC: MORE ON MYTHS AND LEGENDS

SUB-TOPIC: THEMES IN POPULAR MYTHS AND LEGENDS.

Traditionally, myth is a story about gods or a contrived fable which contain truths beyond scope of reason. The legend on its own, is an oral tale of past heroes, passed from generation to another generation. Legends are based on the history of people.

Ask your parent at to narrate an ancient story, while you write it down on your own.

Themes in Popular Myths and Legend

Myth is an ancient story of a race based on its early beliefs passed down from generations, especially on natural events.

This is an example of a Legend.

Oral – Literature

Orality folk tale/song

Oral Poetry Legend

LESSON FOUR: GRAMMAR

TOPIC: USING DESPITE AND INSPITE (with adequate examples)

Despite: This is used to show something happened or is true, although something else might have happened to prevent it. Synonymously, it is used with “inspite” for instance (a) He had to laugh despite his failure

(b) Her voice was shaking despite all effort to control it,

(d) She was good at Mathematics despite the fact that she found it boring.

Despite (as preposition)

1. Regardless of: Although he might travel been prevented by something e.g. The mission blasted off today, despite the security effort.

2. Contrary to: It indicates that something is done unexpectedly or unintentionally. E.g. She was wounded deeply despite all effort to rescue her.

It can be further used as inspite of, regardless of, not withstanding, (formal) in the face of (slang) even with, even though, although etc.

Write five sentences using “despite”.

WEEK THREE (3)

LESSON ONE: SPEECH WORK:

TOPIC: CONSONANT SOUNDS / ò//

/ò/- in the production of this sound, it involves the tip blade and sides of the tongue. The contact between the sides of the tongue and the upper sides create the groove through which the air stream escapes with a frictional noise.

The blade of the tongue is raised toward the hard palate while the font part makes a light contact with the alveolar ridge. There is no vibration of the vocal as the consonant is produced. /ò/ is therefore, a wireless palate – alveolar fricative and it has many spelling symbols which are listed below:

“sh” as in shop

“s” as in sure

“ci” as in special

“c” as in ocean

“ch” moustache

“ti” as in nation

“ss” as in mission

/ò/ at initial and final position

Initial position final position

Shack cash

Shall lash

Shop posh

Shore passion

Sure douche

Champagne bash

/ / this consonant is voiced palate- alveolar fricative which has the same process of articulation as /s/ except that the vocal cords vibrate as it is produced.

In other words, / / is the voiced counterpart of the voiceless /ò/. It is important to note that, / / does not usually occur at the beginning or end of a word except in a few words of French origin. The spelling symbols for / / are as follows:

“ S ” as in usual

“Z” as in seizure

“Si” as in vision.

/ / occurs at the medial position

Usual, vision

Measure leisure

Seizure evasion

Cohesion decision

Erosion confusion.

Identify the following sounds. Write appropriate symbols. See the examples

Word Initial Consonant

e.g barn / b/

Now do the following pure: , chassis,ship , march,pig ,chip .

LESSON TWO: GRAMMAR

TITLE: USES OF HAVE, HAS, AND HAD

These are primary auxiliary verbs.

A. HAS: It is used with the third person singular in sentences in the past participle.

The past tense is had. e.g

1. He has eaten the food

2. She has swept the room

3. Mr. Okoro has bought a car

4. The director has travelled.

B. HAVE : It is used with the pronouns such as: I, we, you, they, and plural nouns in sentences involving past participle. The past tense is had. Example:

1. I have gone there

2. All girls have slept

3. We have just arrived

4. Have you done the work?

HAD: It is the past tense of has and have. This is the singular and the past form of Have and Has: It also involved the use of past participle e.g (1) He had an urge meeting with the board of directors.

(ii) She had a terrible accident yesterday

(iii) If she had not been disobedient, he wouldn’t have got himself into trouble.

(iv) Mr. Okoro had failed as a teacher.

Form two sentences each using has, have, and had.

LESSON THREE: COMPOSITION

TOPIC: “PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL”

There lived a king in Agala village who love to give her daughter out in marriage. Many suitor has volunteered to do whatever the king will ask them to do in order to win the princess as a golden wife.

The first test was that all man who had proposed to the princess should come to the place and dance to the village common drum beat”. From ten competitive, only two came out successful.

One of them is a hunter while the other one is a porter. The hunter brags with the porter that he will win the next competition. The porter was quiet, believing God is the only one that grants success.

The hunter went round the village to please come to his house to celebrate with him in advance, because he is very sure that the next competition will be won by him. He spent virtually all he had to cook and give people food to eat. On the other hand, the porter was calm; some even mock the porter as a poor non-entity man, who is trying what cannot be possible to him ever in life. Some even advised him to resign or give up for the hunter. The porter says nothing, but rather believes in God for his achievement

On the final D-day, in the king palace, the king on its own before any man arrival, covered up two big items with white clothes and no man, know what is there.

After little entertainment by the cultural group of the village, the king called out “Abike” her daughter to move near the two objects covered and stand there.

The king then informed the villagers that today’s competition is simple, that whatever is under the clothes “Abike” will open will be her husband. Abike was ordered by her father to please open, luckily for the “Porter”, Abike open the cloth and everyone sees a big pot well designed and so, the king pronounced the porter a winner.

TITLE : THE ATMOSPHERE

INSTRUCTION : Answer the comprehension questions below.

WEEK FOUR (4)

TOPIC: Consonant sound /q/ and /a/ think / father, mouth/ lather

/ q/ – This consonant is pronounced with the tip of the tongue in a light contact with the incisors while the airstream passes through the mouth. The vocal cords do not vibrate as this process takes place so that the consonant is a voiceless dental fricative.

Note: This dental fricative does not exist in Nigeria languages. So learners of English in Nigeria therefore, find it difficult to pronounce / q/ properly. The only spelling symbol for this consonant is “th”.

/ q/ at the initial and final positions.

Thank pith

Thorn path

Through oath

Thick earth

Think cloth

Thin breath

Thief wrath.

Now pronounce the following words, paying attention to contrast between /t/ and / q/ .

/ t/ / q /___

Team theme

Tank thank

Tick thick

Torn thorn

Tin thin

/ J/ to pronounce this consonant, the tip of the tongue makes light contact with the incisors while the airstream, passes through the narrowing between the tongue and the incisor with some frictional noise. The vocal cords vibrate as /J/ is a voiced dental fricative. Since this consonant does not exist in Nigerian languages, Nigerian learners of English usually experience some problem in pronouncing it. This problems results in such wrong pronunciations as “day” for “they” and den for “then”. To avoid these faulty pronunciation therefore, learners should follow or improve on articulatory procedure described above. The spelling symbol for /J/ correctly, there is an additional problem of knowing when to pronounce / q / and when to pronounce /J/ since both consonant have the same “th” spelling. There is no established rule to guide the learners but you may have noticed that some people usually pronounce “th” at /t/ in specific situations and pronounce the same “th” as /d/ in other situations where such people pronounce “th” as /t/, the correct pronunciation is /q /. In other situations where the pronounce “th” as /d/, the correct pronunciation is /J/.

“thin” pronounced / qin/ and not /tin/

“three” pronounced /qri:/ and not /tri:/

“then” pronounced /Jen/ and not /den/

“thine” pronounced /Jain/ and not /dain/.

/J/ at the initial and final position.

Initial position Final position

Than with

That loathe

This soothe

Those breathe

Then bathe

Though mouth.

Make five word at initial and final position of the consonants /J/ and /q/.

“OO” as in foot

“OU” as in could

“U” as in put.

/U:/ : The long /U:/ is articulated with the back of the tongue raised to a height just below the close “position while the lips are rounded. If you pronounce “WOO”, the oral cavity become narrow as the lips are rounded while the back of the tongue is raised. It is not difficult to pronounce this vowel because many Nigerian languages have a vowel that can be approximated to the English /U:/. However, it is not easy to identify the spelling symbols for the long /U:/ because the vowel has many spelling symbols. The various spellings symbols are listed below:

“O” as in do

“OO” as in spoon

“ew” as in chew

WEEK EIGHT (8)

LESSON ONE: SPEECH WORK

TOPIC: CONSONANT AND VOWELS SOUNDS DIFFERENTIATED

INTRODUCTION : There are forty-fair sounds segments in English, comprising twenty vowels and twenty-four consonants. The production of the vowels takes place as the airstream flows from the lungs to the mouth without any obstruction. In consonant, there is always some kind of interruption of the airstream from the lungs. When a consonant like /m/ is produced, the flow of air interrupted by the lips. But when a vowel is produced, there is no obstruction to the airstream. If you pronounce /e/, you will notice that the air flows but freely from the lungs. Although the tongue can be raised when the vowel is produced, it is not raised to make contact with any other articulator as to obstruct the free flow of the airstream.

The vowel in English are classified into two main groups: pure vowels (also are called monothongs) and diphthongs. The pure vowels are sub-classified into short and long vowels. IN doing classifying English vowels, it is from the lungs that the airstream for the production of speech sounds as it flows.

The consonant differ from the vowels in are important way: when a vowel is produced, air flows from the lungs without any obstruction but when a consonant is obstruction but when a consonant is produced, the flow of air from the lungs is interrupted in the mouth. A consonant is therefore a speech sound which is produced with the obstruction of airstream. The obstruction could be “partial” or “total”. The important thing about the production of a consonant, therefore, is that there is always a degree of obstruction of the airstream from the lungs.

Just as vowel sounds are classified into short and long sounds, so also consonant sounds are classified basically into the following:

There are (i) place of articulation”

(ii) “manner of articulation” and

(iii) state of the glottis.

Write out 20 vowel sounds and 24 consonant sounds in English.

TOPIC: REVIEW OF PREFIX AND SUFFIX

REVIEW OF PREFIX AND SUFFIX

A prefix is a letter or group of letters placed in front of another word to change its meaning. Example Un place in front of happy becomes unhappy. More examples:

ab + solve = absolve

ab + normal = abnormal

super + power = superpower

Uni + lateral = unilateral

Uni + form = uniform

Pro + active = proactive.

Negative prefixes give the opposite meaning to words.

dis – disappear

in – not inexperience

mis – misfortune

non – without nonsense

un – unhappy

im – immoral

u – opposite of illegal

Suffixes – A suffix is a letter or group of word to change its meaning. When a suffix is added to a word, it can change the word from one part of the speech to another.

a. Some suffixes make new words with adjective.

they include – any, eny, -en, –ish, -less, -ly, -our, -ic, -like, -y, -ful. e.g dangerous, unless.

b. Those which make the words verbs include, – ing, -ed, -ude, -em, -ure, -ise, -ize, yse, e.g nationalize. Lighten.

c. Suffixes which turn word into nouns include –er, -or, -ar, -re, -ship, -hood, -ness, -ment, -ance, -ism, -dom, -tion, ity, – -ure, e.g punishment, friendship, childhood etc.
