What does the TB say about Teaching pronunciation ? * Some of
the sounds of English will be difficult for Palestinian children to
pronounce. Keep a note of any they find difficult and make a point
of practicing these each period. Encourage the children to listen
carefully to the recording and to copy the speakers as closely as
possible. Make this activity as much fun as possible encourage the
whole class to praise the children who manage to sound the most
English! * Sometimes children will have difficulty hearing the
difference between one sound and another, e.g. /k/ as in cat and
/g/ as in goat. Try some minimal pairs activities: these involve
distinguishing between two words where the only difference is a
single phoneme, e.g. coat and goat, pin and bin, fan and van, etc.
Ask the children to listen to pairs of words like this and identify
which sound is which.
