Abstract

This article deals with various methods of expressing intonation in the English language. Variations in the voice's pitch are the main factors in intonation. Furthermore, two of the most popular models of intonation are presented, which should be helpful for second language teachers and textbook authors for their own research and for the creation of course material. In the English language, it is frequently accompanied by stress and rhythm to produce meaning. It is also easier for readers to understand recent primary material on the characteristics of intonation, particularly in relation to languages. With this, it is expected that findings from theoretical research will be used in the language classroom. Despite being a difficult language to learn, it is rarely taught systematically. Although a lot of the early research on intonation was didactic in character, more experimental or rigorous studies have been done recently. This has caused a disconnect between intonation as it is utilized in instruction and intonation research, making it challenging for second language teachers to employ the findings of such studies. In this article, I cover the various strategies that intonation might take and the fundamental topics addressed in contemporary theoretical study.
