TESL 0120: Unit 2 Pronunciation Activity

Related image
What you can learn: It’s important to know the right pronunciation of a word, but just knowing how to make the different vowel sounds can help you speak correctly.
This pronunciation activity (vowel sounds) is based on the speaking sample A. 
Things needed- children songs or youtube videos.
There are a number of children’s songs that help teach different vowels. Listen to and try to sing along with songs. These songs, and others like them, change the vowel sounds in words. This results in many nonsense words, like “benene” instead of “banana.” This is an effective method to learn vowel sounds because the rest of the word doesn’t change—so you can focus on the vowel sounds instead. First only listen to the song and then try to repeat the words or the vowels with the song.
Learning vowel sounds and pronunciations will make it easier for you to learn new English words. Take some time to practice and learn with these exercises and you’ll be having fun and learning at the same time.
