11.4 Extending skills
Explain to students that deciding where the word stress is in these types of compounds is not easy and that sometimes native speakers can have problems. A useful rule that they can use is to place the stress at the beginning of the compound.
Set the remaining phrases for individual work and pairwork discussion. Feed back each phrase visually with the class, underlining the words which make a compound noun and eliciting where the stress should fall.
LANGUAGE NOTE Stress in compound nouns Stress placement, especially in complex compound noun phrases, is notoriously unstable. There will be apparent exceptions to the rules explained in Exercise A. Stress may often move, depending on the context. Compare the stress in these two phrases: bad-'tempered • bad-tempered 'teacher Native speakers will sometimes disagree about phrases like this or make mistakes. The main point is to try to notice where the main stresses fall.
Suggested answers Term
advanced and emerging 'fields
'agile mobile drones
'cloud computing start-up
'high-quality guidance
B
Set for individual work and pairwork checking. Tell students that although in some cases it will be possible to use a word in two different phrases, they must use each word once, and they must use all the words.
Feed back with the whole class. Check that the meaning of the phrases is understood, and check pronunciation.
LANGUAGE NOTE Pronouncing compound nouns Although in most compound nouns the main stress comes on the first element, there are some compounds where this is not true. Definitive guidance on the pronunciation of compound nouns can be found in a good pronunciation dictionary.
Then visually share a facsimile of the two pages and elicit where students might find the answers. Feed back to the class using the PDF.

Set students to work in pairs and tell them to look at the webpages on page 113 of the Course Book.
Explain that Figure 1 shows the website of a company which provides advice on legal and ethical matters to computer companies.
Figure 2 is a webpage for a company which develops AI-related products, providing information for graduates who may want to join the company.
Tell students to read the questions, and check that they understand all the vocabulary. Explain that some information in the webpages will help them to answer question 1, but that they will need to link the information to ideas of their own for questions 2–4.
Give students some time to try to come up with some answers.
