Communication in Hong Kong Part 1 There are different ways through which students can be encouraged to incorporate stress and intonation in their speech. One of the methods is by identification of the context. The other means to include weight in speech is knowing who the student is talking to, and the number of people in the setting. One of the problems the teacher identified for the students is a failure to note the context. In a regular setting, it is essential to use calm tones, but in a serious argument, it is essential to stress on various factors. One of the tactics that the student-teacher used to show how to use this form of speech and intonation is by offering examples. The teacher provides clear examples of where to include stress and areas where to avoid the same (Microvideo, 2019). An alternative that I can offer the students is having them increase their training by watching more American and the United Kingdom videos to understand the areas where to apply some of these speech tactics.
