Additionally, the present study investigated the roles that might be played by the gender of Ilami EFL teachers in observing the 17 patterns of intonation. Finally, the study determined if intonation as a suprasegmental feature of speech is affected by the gender of Ilami EFL teachers. The population of the study encompassed all male and female EFL teachers in Ilam city from which 40 teachers (20 males and 20 females) were surveyed on interviews for their observing of 17 general patterns of intonation. For inferential statistics, Chi-Square tests were conducted to analyze the data. Statistical analysis was run using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Accordingly, male teachers outperformed female teachers on observing the rules of intonation. Keywords: Suprasegmental aspects of speech, Intonation, EFL teachers  \n1. Introduction  \nAccording to Yates (2013)\" Pronunciation, once a mainstay of language teaching and language teacher education has long been ignored or relegated to elective status in EFL classroom and pronunciation is rarely incorporated into instructional objectives, and when it is taught is usually done so in an ad hoc fashion.\" However, considering the overarching role played by pronunciation in speech intelligibility, the need for practical training in teaching pronunciation is inevitable.  \nIn today's interconnected world, knowing English has been one of the inevitable parts of our lives. We judge people by the way they speak, consequently learners with good pronunciation may be judged competent, educated or knowledgeable. A broad definition of Pronunciation includes attention to particular sounds of language (segments) and the aspects of speech beyond the level of the individual sounds, (suprasegmentals) such as intonation, stress, phrasing, timing, rhythm suprasegmental aspects of language which are best learned as an integral part of language.  \nTraditional approaches to pronunciation have often focused on segmental phonemes, as they are relate in some way to letters in writing. More recent approaches to pronunciation suggested that suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation may have the most effect on intelligibility for some speakers. Usually learners benefit from attention to both aspects. Baily (2003) stated that Suprasegmental or prosodic speech characteristics carry meaning differences but they operate \"above\"the segmental phonemes.  \nRenewed interest in pronunciation in communicative approach focuses on phonological aspects of connected speech. This integrated approach to pronunciation teaching focuses on suprasegmental aspects of phonology. In fact it is the suprasegmental features that control the structure of information. The misuse or under-use of these features can cause the utterance to be understood in a way other than was intended, and can cause frustration, and possibly demotivation, from among prosodic features intonation is not only central ","cbCaidGWYXEEoabc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidGWYXEEoabc","pdf",134487,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
