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.
