Supra-segmental level (EPPN2) 
On the level of supra-segmental elements there were two groups of information 
that kept appearing in the 25 Teaching Journal Entries. The first set of results concerns 
information about ´strong forms´, ´weak forms´, ´intonation in questions´, ´intonation in 
short answers´, ´intonation in affirmative sentences´, ´rhythm´, ´linking´ and ´elision´. 
The second set of results concerns the ways of presentation in which the above-
mentioned supra-segmental elements appeared. To be able to present the collected data, 
it was decided to use PC Excel tables. 
The first set of results seen in table No.5 lists the types of supra-segmental 
elements dealt with, their codes, and examples taken from the Teaching Journal Entries. 
Table No.5: Supra-segmental level – Categories and Codes (EPPN2) 
 
 
This table shows what supra-segmental elements occurred during the whole course,
Although the given examples provide information about the supra-segmental elements 
used on the level of grammar, they were presented and practised in other activity types, 
for example in songs and rhymes, see appendix No.16-20. The results demonstrate that 
not all supra-segmental elements and sound changes in connected speech, listed in the 
theoretical part of the thesis, were presented. For example stressed syllables, sentence 
stress, assimilation, or intrusion, were neither presented nor practised intentionally, as 
they were not considered appropriate because of both the learners´ proficiency, and the

course content and length. When compared with the criteria, it is demonstrated that the 
listed supra-segmental elements meets the stated evaluation criteria only partially. 
The second set of research results concerns the used presentation ways. Table 
No.6 presents the used ways with their codes, and their frequency
