The intonational phenomenon of focus projection has received extensive attention in the literature, both from a theoretical and empirical point of view. In Dimitrov (2023a), I argue that focus projection can be applied in the process of teaching. In this paper, I offer a model based on my beliefs about focus projection that can be used for the generation of practical tasks whose aim is improving learners’ fluency.

Keywords: focus projection, fluency, practical tasks, theoretical beliefs, intonational phenomenon
