So and Such

For a challenging activity on pronouncing ‘so’ and ‘such’, look no further than this pair work pronunciation handout. Learners convert phonetic forms into normal written English and practise repeating them naturally.

1. Copy one handout for each learner. Distribute the handouts one between two for better pair work (hand out the remaining worksheets later).

2. Focus the learners on the instructions. The learners try to write the written form of the sentences written using the phonetic script. Monitor the learners while they do this, providing assistance and models with specific sounds or words.

3. Get students' attentions as a whole group and drill the sentences with all and some individual students. Model the correct pronunciation and get students to repeat multiple times.

4. Review the pronunciation at the end of the lesson or next time to see if the students can remember how to pronounce the chunks of language appropriately.

Past Simple

This is a pronunciation activity designed to help raise learners’ awareness of sound and spelling relationships in the context of past simple regular verb ‘ed’ endings. The learners complete the missing letters of a range of regular past simple verbs, and choose the correct sound.

1. Copy one handout for each pair of students, cut the worksheets in two and distribute them.

2. Get students attention as a whole group. Explain that the learners are going to do a pronunciation activity concerning past simple regular 'ED' endings. Working in pairs, the learners try to complete the words with the missing one or two letters. They then try to choose the appropriate sound that matches each 'ED' ending; /t/, /d/, /Id/. Drill these sounds before the activity so the learners are familiar with them. Allow the learners five to ten minutes to do the activity with their partner. Provide hints or tips when necessary.

3. When the learners have finished, elicit the the missing letters to make the sixteen words. Drill the words with the students as a whole group. Model the correct pronunciation and get students to repeat after you multiple times.

4. This activity can be done as a lead-in or at any time in the lesson to energise lethargic students. If done at the beginning, why not revisit it at the end to see if the students remember?
