Words to stress correctly
| responsibility | re·spon·si·BIL·i·ty | /rispɑnsəˈbɪləti/ |
| heterogeneous | het·er·o·GE·neous | /hɛtɚəˈdʒinjəs/ |
| acknowledging | ac·KNOWL·edg·ing | /ækˈnɑlɪdʒɪŋ/ |
| instructional | in·STRUC·tion·al | /ɪnsˈtrʌkʃənəl/ |
| effectively | ef·FEC·tive·ly | /ɪˈfɛktɪvli/ |
| populations | pop·u·LA·tions | /pɑpjəˈleɪʃənz/ |
41 words in one sentence, aim for 16–19 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after schools, and students; take a short pause at populations and responsibility so the long words don't run together.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress re·spon·si·BIL·i·ty and het·er·o·GE·neous on the fourth syllable, pop·u·LA·tions on the third, ac·KNOWL·edg·ing, in·STRUC·tion·al, ef·FEC·tive·ly on the second. Don't hesitate before heterogeneous. Keep the -s in populations, schools, educators, backgrounds, strategies.
General tip: acknowledging has a silent k—start it with /ək-NOL/; practise heterogeneous as two halves, hetero + GEneous, then join.
