2 Common English pronunciation mistakes by Koreans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_1gKqrH UWw Sounds/Intonation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSVk61sze m0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1yTbW3 NP4Q&feature=fvwrel

3 Integrated lessons: The lesson is focused on pronunciation. Everything is planned around pronunciation. Remedial lessons: The lesson is focused on the specific problems that the students are having. Practice lessons: The lesson is focused on only one specific feature of pronunciation.

4 REACTIVE vs PLANNED teaching Reactive teaching: teaching according to the mistakes the students make, or the areas the students have difficulty with. Planned teaching: teaching with a specific pronunciation goal in mind, connected to the lesson. Reactive teaching is always necessary but it is important for teachers to have a specific pronunciation goal.

6 The teacher models the correct sound and then the students repeat. The goal is to help the students learn good pronunciation. The students are reliant most on the teacher in this activity. Having the students repeat altogether first, helps them built confidence and avoids embarrassment. Then, individually.

7 The students practice difficult words and phrases, one part at a time. A difficult sentence can be started from the end or the beginning. (Look at the example on p.16-17) This activity helps with word stress and intonation. To help students understand the word stress and intonation the teacher can use some signal, maybe tapping or clapping hands or moving arms.

8 Minimal pairs are two words that have similar sounds. For example: cat and cut You can practice a specific sound or phoneme by giving students a list of words, reading them and asking them to identify a particular sound. (p.19 #1) Also, you can give the students a list of words and they underline all the words that have a specific sound. (p.19 #2) Or, you can ask the students to find the odd sound word and underline or circle it. (p.19 #4)

9 The students can also learn the differences between sounds through tongue twisters. Baby boy blue blows bubbles. (submitted by Toniann DeFusco) Grandma gathers great green grapes. Sal sang seven silly songs. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, Was he?

10 Homographs & Homophones Homographs are words that have the same spelling but different pronunciation. Example: bowbow / ˈ ba ʊ / (v) Satoshi always made sure to bow before the emperor. / ˈ ba ʊ / / ˈ bo ʊ / (n) The hordes of warriors making their way through the forest fought with bow and arrow. / ˈ bo ʊ / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_ho mographs

11 Homophones are that have the same pronunciation but different spelling. For example: acts/ax ad/add ads/adds/adz aid/aide http://www.all-about-spelling.com/list-of- homophones.html

12 You can also do a discovery type exercise where the students study a pair of words and make a rule for the different sounds made. For example: hat/hate kit/kite cut/cute Adding the “e” makes the vowel sound like the name of that vowel in the alphabet. (p.20)

13 This activity can help in comparing and contrasting the differences in pronunciation, word stress and intonation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBYAb Wgap_8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBYAb Wgap_8

14 This activity is to help the students to more effectively use the English language outside the classroom. The purpose is to get the students to notice the differences about the language and how it is used. Noticing is very important in studying pronunciation. http://www.esl-lab.com/ http://www.rong-chang.com/listen.htm This is the best website I found for practicing pronunciation!!!^^ http://www.manythings.org/pp/

15 The students are receiving the language in these activities. Pronunciation work is practiced when a story or piece of writing is spoken aloud. You can use tongue twisters, poems, rhymes to practice pronunciation. http://www.manythings.org/e/tt.html
