<P><FONT size=2>One way would be to accompany the syllabic/prosodic stress with
a foot tap. It worked for me! Be well. @ </FONT></P>

<P><FONT size=2>Dear colleagues,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Can you recommend activities to help bilingual Spanish speakers
identify</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>prosodic stress? They tell me they
"can't hear it" but of course they</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>do produce words with
correct stress intonation.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I have had some success by having students repeat the word
aloud,</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>placing the stress on each syllable &
deciding which sounds correct [ex:</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>RElampago, reLAMpago,
relamPAgo, relampaGO]. But some of them can</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>identify it only when I read the options aloud to them.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Thanks for your help.</FONT> </P>
