bsp;make up the prosodic units from syllable of word and phrase to the utterance as a whole (Liberman & Prince, 1977). According to Gee and Grosjean (1985), the segmentation which takes place during the process of oral reading and is reflected by silent pauses, can best be presented by prosodic structure: phonological words are separated from one another by few pauses which in turn are very short;phonological phrases are separated from each other by more and longer pauses and intonational phrases with more numerous and longer pauses.

CHAPTER FOUR RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4. 1 Results and Discussion for Research Question
One Does the Speech Visualization Technology improve students’ oral English ability in terms of stress and intonation? In order to answer the research question 1, the result of the pre-test, the pre-test and the post-test, the analysis of the comparison of pre-test and post-test both in experiment class and control class would be shown as below. The goal of first research question was to check and prove the effect of improving students’ oral ability in terms of stress and intonation though speech visualization technology. There were totally 54 participants. The results of pre-test of both classes (P=0.101>0.05) demonstrated that the both experimental class and control class had similar English language proficiency (See Table 1). Comparing the mean scores of post-test between two classes ((P>0.05), the experimental class made greater process than the control class. The application of speech visualization technology played a significant role in improving students’ speaking ability in in terms of stress and intonation. It was shown that after applying speech visualization technology in pronunciation teaching, participants in experimental class made a significant improvement but participants in control class didn’t (See Table 2).
