I. Objectives:
At the end of the discussion, students will be able:
1. To identify the different exercises and task in pronunciation.
2. To appreciate pronunciation is important.
3. To answer the questions after the discussion.

II. Discussion
1. Find out what your students can’t do.
Your students will have different problems with pronunciation
depending on their first language. To find out what problems your
students have, you can listen to them talking to each other or get them to
read a text aloud for the class – note down the problems they have with
their pronunciation.

2. Introduce minimal pairs.

Minimal pairs are words that sound almost the same but have a
subtle pronunciation difference. Examples of minimal pairs: sheep/ship,
low/ throw, food / good, tin/ten, bet/bat, bat/bad, cat/cut
Suggested activities:
 Drilling – get students to pronounce the words chorally in class
copying your pronunciation or one from a listening text.
 Write minimal pairs on the back of playing cards and ask students
to play pelmanism with the pairs that match.
3. Remember English is a stress-timed language.
It’s important for students to get the stress right if they are
going to sound natural. For example: Where do you live? The stress is on
Where and live, do isn’t stressed at all.
Suggested activities
 Dictate sentences and ask students to mark the words that are
stressed.
 Underline the stressed words in a dialogue.
 Say the sentences aloud and then drill the sentences in class
chorally.
 Students record the sentences on their smartphones and check
their stress.
