Abstract
The research presented in this paper questions efficiency of the methods of teaching intonation
of a foreign language that imply realization of an utterance with the particular intonation
pattern whether it is read or it is read by presented schematic illustration of the intonational
realization or its realization is suggested by putting the utterance into circumstances where
the intonational realization normally occurs or it is reproduced after listening to it.
Some of the experiences with teaching prosody of a foreign language in classes oblige to
question the efficiency of the exercises that imply the mentioned actions.
Research results show that the interviewees most successfully imitate the intonation pattern
of the original utterance by repeating it after listening to it especially when utterances are
short, significantly less successfully by realizing intonational realization of an utterance that
they made up by themselves for described circumstances in which an utterance should occur
and relatively unsuccessfully by reading sentences with an illustration of the set intonational
realization.
