Pronunciation
- Minimal Pairs
Activity/Procedure/Stage
Pre-Stage:
T tells Ss were now going to work on
pronunciation, specifically minimal pairs.
They are very helpful and important
because pronouncing some similarsounding words correctly can avoid
misunderstanding.
T asks Ss to recall minimal pairs that
we discussed a few weeks ago. Asks
Ss if they can recall what minimal
pairs are or examples of minimal pairs
in English. Ss elicit thoughts.
T writes some minimal pairs (that are
especially difficult for these particular
Ss) on the board. T reviews
pronunciation and reminds students of
the difference in sounds:
/r/ vs. /l/, /s/ vs./ /& // vs. /i/
