pronounce it correctly. I’ll say that everybody repeats the pronunciation out loud.

STUDENT ACTIVITY (We do): Students will have a piece of paper with all the alphabet in English
and they will have to complete under each letter the pronunciation. So, students will write down
the pronunciation of the letters of the alphabet.

STUDENT ACTIVITY (You do together): In pairs, students will practice all the pronunciation of the
alphabet in real context of asking and answer “How do you spell that?” in order to practice the
alphabet with real information.

STUDENT ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY (You do alone): Students will ask to spell to others member
of their family or friends their personal information to practice correct pronunciation of the letters of
the alphabet. Next class, I will ask them about this assignment.
