Pronunciation

clear and understandable pronunciation

correct use of the following features will determine  the pronunciation grade:

1．basic word pronunciation;

2．linked speech sounds;

3．correct and appropriate  sentence stress; and,

4．a(chǎn)ppropriate use of  intonation (rising and falling) to emphasize meaning.

inaccurate (= unclear) pronunciation is usually  understandable if the correct words and grammar are used but slightly  inaccurate pronunciation combined with other errors can result in  language that is not understandable at all
