Abstract
The current paper attempts to shed light on the feasibility of teaching the undergraduate students intonation and its pragmatic meaning as a means of communication and learning especially during Covid-19 which has been one of the greatest crises in different sides of life including education. Students in Iraq especially those who study at universities just like their peers in all over the world have faced the difficulty of distance learning which abused them to cope with the online classrooms. Pre and post tests have been conducted about intonation and stress to a sample of (20) students who have studied English language in the department of English language at Al-Turath University College were divided into experimental and control groups EG and CG to check out their comprehension of intonation before and after instructions. The data was collected from questionnaire and then computed in a statistical analysis. Many diagrams and tables were submitted to point out the percentages of passed and failed students of both groups before and after treatment. The findings were so obvious that there has been improvement of the experimental group after treatment. However, the present research investigates the effectiveness of teaching intonation to English second learners to improve their pronunciation and ultimately help the students' online grasp learning. The whole attempts are for the sake of conducting a successful distance learning.
