MESSAGE TO ALL ENGLISH TEACHERS!

 

 

 

Do you avoid teaching pronunciation because

you are not sure how to teach it?

 

Do you avoid teaching pronunciation because you

don't have  the materials to teach it?

 

Do you avoid teaching pronunciation

because it seems to difficult?

 

 

If the answer to any of these question was yes-

then you have come to the right place.

 

 

 

       The basics of teaching pronunciation is fairly easy. All you need is a

       large list of words, phrases, or sentences that contain specific target

       sounds and have the students complete various exercises or drills that

       focus on producing or listening for that sound. EASY!

 

        Of course the problem is FINDING that long list word words, phrases, and sentences.

                    Sure, .... you could spend hours and hours on the Internet going from one

                    site to another looking for  words and phrases that contain the target sound.

                    (Good luck with that)

 

                    Sure, ....  you could spend days and days flipping through a dictionary looking

                    for words that have the specific target sounds you need.

 

                    Sure, ... you could wrack your brain trying to think of a list of words that contain

                    the target sound and then spend even more time double checking in a

                    dictionary to make sure that the sound you think is in the word is actually there.

 

But why would you do that if you don't have to?

            Teaching English Pronunciation gives you every thing you need to easily and systematically add the teaching of pronunciation to you list of teaching skills.

 

 

 

The book contains exercises and drills for:

  •  for all vowel sounds

  •  for all consonant sounds

  •  for linking of sounds

  •  for ending sounds

  •  for contractions

  •  for rhythm

  •  for syllables

  •  for intonation

  •  for reductions

  •  for consonant clusters

  •  for sound changes

 

 

 But what kind of exercises and drills you ask?

       There are several kinds of exercises in the book. Each exercise has between 20 to 25

       items containing two or three words in a group. The words in the group may or may

       not contain the target sound. The teacher reads the words to the students and they

       must decide (by marking on an answer sheet): 

 

 

*

Which of three words does not contain the target sound

*

Which syllable in the word the target sound is in for

individual words

*

If two words are the same or different

*

Which target sound an individual word contains

(for example b or p)

*

Fill in the blanks on an answer sheet from a sentences read by the teacher

*

Speaking practice exercises in which students make their own sentences using example phrases that contain the target sounds  

 

                               

 

       The drills consist of short sentences and phrases that the teacher reads and the 

        students repeat to practice producing and listening for the target sounds. There are

        drills for:

*

individual vowels and consonants

*

flaps

*

glottal stops

*

contractions

*

reductions

*

ending sounds

*

ellipsis

*

syllable stress

*

linking of sounds

*

intonation patterns

 

 

                  «« In addition to the drills and exercises there are also answer sheets

                          that can be copied and handed out to students for each exercise  ««
