Language is like a river. It may be changed by using of human being. Man wants to
pronounce the sounds or words easily. This creates elision.
What is Elision?
Sometimes some vowel or consonant sound disappear or elide for the influence of
adjacent or neighbouring sound during rapid or causal speech, it is called elision.
Necessity of Elision
Non native learners are not bound to use it. They can use it or not. But it is important for
them to be aware that when native speakers of English talk to each other.

What is glottal stop?
Actually the glottal stop is a speech sound that is produced by the opening and closing
glottis. If the phonetic  comes at the end of a word or syllable it can be replaced by
a glottal stop. A glottal shop occurs when a silent gap is produced by holding one’s
breath briefly during the opening and closing of the glottis. A glottal stop does not
happen if the next sound is a vowel or a syllable 

Activity 6: Group Discussion
Is TV good or bad?
Discussion Wheels
Source: © Nick Peachey, teacher, trainer, materials writer, British Council
Discussion wheels are a good way of giving students time to think and formulate opinions
before they do discussion work. They work particularly well with areas of discussion
which can have ranges of agreement or disagreement.
• Preparation
To create a discussion wheel you simply need 8 or 10 contentious sentences based around
a theme which you would like the students to discuss.
Draw a circle on a piece of paper and draw lines through the circle (one line for each
sentence) so that the circle is divided into segments.
At the end of each line, write one of the sentences, and then next in the group would write
his line. A maximum of 10 students can form a group.
Example: Television and Entertainment
You may use the following arguments.
a. People don’t get any exercise. They just sit and watch TV.
b. It brings news from around the world into people’s homes.
c. People just want entertainment today. They don’t want to think.
d. There is a lot of crime and violence on TV today. The programs are terrible.
e. Children learn many useful things. It teaches them to tell the time.
f. It helps me to relax after a long day.
g. Programs on the radio are better. They make you think.
h. It is all adverts. I hate it!
LODESTAR INSTITUTE
Spoken & Pronunciation Course 139
The student should be divided into even number of groups each comprising 5-10 member
groups. Now the point of group discussion is “Is watching TV good or bad?” Each group
will take one stand either in favor or against the motion. The groups can discuss different
points among their members and argue in favor or against watching TV.

Model Answer
Hello friends
This is Nazib Hossain
Today I am here to share my feelings about the Spoken and pronunciation course
of LODESTAR. Dear friends, you know, I am not a good speaker. But I will try to
say something on my topic.
I am really grateful to Asian English Center for initiating such a fantastic course.
Let me tell you the big truth. Before coming to AEC, I felt nervous and shy while
speaking before audience. Now I have been more confident than before. People
appreciate my accent, pronunciation and my speaking style.
Dear friends, if you are satisfied about the service of AEC please convey the
message of AEC to everyone ‘If you want to get the real test of English, be a
member of AEC.
That’s all for today. Thanks to all. Thanks to Asian English Center.

Necessity of Elision Non native learners are not bound to use it. They can use it or not. But it is important for them to be aware that when native speakers of English talk to each other.

  • 13. LODESTAR INSTITUTE Spoken & Pronunciation Course 138 Activity 6: Group Discussion Is TV good or bad? Discussion Wheels Source: © Nick Peachey, teacher, trainer, materials writer, British Council Discussion wheels are a good way of giving students time to think and formulate opinions before they do discussion work. They work particularly well with areas of discussion which can have ranges of agreement or disagreement. • Preparation To create a discussion wheel you simply need 8 or 10 contentious sentences based around a theme which you would like the students to discuss. Draw a circle on a piece of paper and draw lines through the circle (one line for each sentence) so that the circle is divided into segments. At the end of each line, write one of the sentences, and then next in the group would write his line. A maximum of 10 students can form a group. Example: Television and Entertainment You may use the following arguments. a. People don’t get any exercise. They just sit and watch TV. b. It brings news from around the world into people’s homes. c. People just want entertainment today. They don’t want to think. d. There is a lot of crime and violence on TV today. The programs are terrible. e. Children learn many useful things. It teaches them to tell the time. f. It helps me to relax after a long day. g. Programs on the radio are better. They make you think. h. It is all adverts. I hate it!
  • 14. LODESTAR INSTITUTE Spoken & Pronunciation Course 139 The student should be divided into even number of groups each comprising 5-10 member groups. Now the point of group discussion is “Is watching TV good or bad?” Each group will take one stand either in favor or against the motion. The groups can discuss different points among their members and argue in favor or against watching TV. Lesson 3.1 Simple present: I (do) Music 1. What sort of music do you like? 2.
