The purpose of this work is to provide an account on how to teach pronunciation to EFL
learners, with a special focus on intonation as combined with requests. The intention of
this study is to stimulate teachers to offer a focus on pronunciation in their classrooms
and thus integrate them in the syllabus. Throughout this study, intonation is considered
not as a luxury but as a necessity for an efficient interchange in English. It also aims at
highlighting the importance of second language acquisition as ‘skill learning’. Concepts
such as communication, comprehensible input, noticing and interaction are deeply
addressed through this piece of work since they need to be taken into account when
dealing with acquiring the language. This research provides a framework of English
intonation highlighting the most salient concepts in the field. Firstly, the paper gathers
and reviews some of the most outstanding insights from second language acquisition,
linguistics and communication. Then, it presents and evaluates a teaching proposal
composed of several activities for the teaching of intonation with a final task based on
requests, in which seventeen students need to learn to understand and how to formulate
requests in a proper intonation during two sessions. Finally, the study presents a series
of concluding considerations concerning the success of the students’ specific
performance. [-]
