4 PRONUNCIATION & SPEAKING /ʌ/

a e 5.19   This exercise helps Sts with the pronunciation of

some of the words from the lesson.
Focus on the sound picture and elicit the word, and
sound: up /ʌ/.
Give Sts time to read the Typical spelling chart. Make
sure they know the meaning of rare (= not seen very
often).
Play the audio once the whole way through for Sts just
to listen.

e 5.19
See words in Student’s Book on p.43

Now play the audio again, pausing after each word for Sts
to repeat.
EXTRA SUPPORT If this sound is difficult for your Sts, or you
want to contrast it with the /æ/ sound, it will help to show
them the mouth position. You could model this yourself or
use the the Sound Bank videos on the Teacher’s Resource
Centre.
b e 5.20   Tell Sts they are going to hear 12 sentences and
they must write the last word in each one.
Play the audio, pausing after each item to give Sts time
to write.
Check answers by playing the audio again and pausing
after each item to elicit the word onto the board.
1 butter 2 study  3 worry  4 young  5 money  
6 rubbish  7 sunny  8 lovely 9 double  
10 lunch  11 country  12 funny

e 5.20
1 Can you pass me the butter?
2 Do you work or study?
3 Everything’s going to be fine – don’t worry!
4 Your sister’s very young!
5 I don’t have any money.
6 Please can you take out the rubbish?
7 Is today going to be sunny?
8 The weather’s going to be lovely.
9 Two single rooms, please, and one double.
10 What do you want for lunch?
11 What’s the biggest city in your country?
12 She’s usually serious, but she can be very funny.

EXTRA SUPPORT Elicit the whole sentences / questions, not

just the last word, and write them on the board.
EXTRA IDEA Some Sts have a problem pronouncing money
and tend to say /mʌneɪ/. To help them, you could tell them
that money rhymes with funny and sunny.
c Play the audio again, pausing after each item for Sts
to listen and repeat. Make sure they repeat the whole
sentence and not just the last word.
d Focus on the speech bubbles, and then demonstrate the
activity yourself by answering a couple of questions and
explaining your reasons.
Now put Sts in pairs and get them to answer the
questions, giving their reasons, too.
Get some feedback from various pairs.
