One of the major issues in spoken English is to understand how listeners recognize the word stress. Word stress is an abstract property of the words that is not always acoustically realized in the speech signal. In English language, nuclear stress mobility, which is the establisher of accentuation in the interlingual speech, is not perceived by a great majority of Turkish English teachers and trainees. In the present study, how the mobility of the primary stress acts to and pro in the structure of the English vocabulary items will be demonstrated by using electronic dictionaries. The problem-causing vocabulary items in nuclear stress placement, like democrat-democracy-democratic and aristocrat- aristocracy- aristocratic can be downloaded by the Audacity program and the mobility of stress in their phonetic and phonemic transcriptions can be exhibited via computer applications in teaching vocabulary items and a designed lesson plan is also possible to rehabilitate the fossilized stress errors.
