Abstract

Pronunciation plays a very important role in both teaching and learning processes in our social lives. Many students desire to speak the language perfectly and properly. When one wants to learn a language his first attempt to prove its knowledge is by speaking. When we study a language we are dealing with different sounds, utterances as well as other characteristics of forming speech, one of which is used to put emphasis on words that we think the key ones, this feature is called stress. Teaching word stress is a very important aspect in English language. Arranged drills are of a great importance in a advance of learning stress, they help to overcome the problems of mispronounce some words.

This study is an attempt to investigate word stress error made by secondary school students, where stress is being taught as

complicated issue that need to be analyzed and explained to students in more details to help them pronounce the words without obstacles.

Since the last century, universities in developed countries have begun to work on technology transfer. Thus, the process of marketing the technologies discovered by those universities became an engine of economic growth, as these universities played a significant role in bringing innovative ideas to the market. Since then, technology transfer activities that were previously practiced by elite universities have received attention due to increasing university revenues, creating research links between academia and industry.

In this paper, we review the aspects related to the process of technology transfer in terms of its importance, and its model of work in universities, starting with the phase of discovering and evaluating the invention, the phase of patenting, and ending with the phase of marketing. The working mechanism of Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and the infrastructure necessary to establish these offices and the role of entrepreneurship and innovation centers in universities to perform their role effectively is also highlighted. The research aims to design an optimal dynamic and flexible model of the TTO at the University of Gharyan rearranging some traditional components and establish additional innovation pathways and make it more effective.
