Words to stress correctly
| methodology | meth·o·DOL·o·gy | /mɛθəˈdɑlədʒi/ |
| questionnaires | ques·tion·NAIRES | /kwɛstʃəˈnɛrz/ |
| quantitative | QUAN·ti·ta·tive | /ˈkwɑntɪteɪtɪv/ |
| qualitative | QUAL·i·ta·tive | /ˈkwɑləteɪtɪv/ |
| example | ex·AM·ple | /ɪɡˈzæmpəl/ |
| interviews | IN·ter·views | /ˈɪntɚvjuz/ |
40 words, aim for 15–18 seconds. There are no numbers. Breathe after others and after quantitative research; use short pauses at the commas and before whereas.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress meth·o·DOL·o·gy and ques·tion·NAIRES, but keep first-syllable stress on QUAN·ti·ta·tive and QUAL·i·ta·tive. Don't hesitate before methodology. Keep every plural -s: questionnaires, surveys, interviews, groups, purposes.
General tip: the two near-twins differ only in one syllable: quan-TI- vs qual-I-; say each slowly once before recording so you don't swap them.
