The teaching of English intonation is often perceived as a difficult, if not impossible task, because of the complexities of the intonation system. However, increasing interest is now being focused on the relationship between intonation choices and the speaker's communicative intention. This paper examines current teaching models for intonation on questions, as exemplified in a range of published EFL teaching materials, and discusses one area of intonation on questions which is frequently neglected for teaching purposes: a falling tone on yes/no questions. An alternative teaching model for intonation on yes/no questions is proposed which prioritizes the speaker's communicative intentions.
