(For minimal pairs) http://davidbrett.uniss.it/phonology/vowel%20sounds/IndexofMinimalPairs.html(For vowel sounds i: i ) (beat/bit, heed/hid, leap/lip, reach/rich, seek/sick, read/rid, weep/whip)

Revision of the English vowel sounds:
i:
i, ɒ ɔ: , ʌ æ
Objective of the lesson : After learning the vowel sounds i: i, ɒ ɔ: , ʌ æ (condition), the
students (audience) will be able to identify the same sounds (behavior) in all
the minimal pairs having the same sounds (degree).
1.First, students will listen to these vowel sounds on the interactive websites i: i, ɒ ɔ: , ʌ æ
2. Then, they will
repeat the sounds (say the sounds aloud)
3. Then, they identify
the sounds in the minimal pairs given in the interactive websites
etc.(This is an
assessment part)
1. Students listen to the vowel sounds on the
interactive websites and repeat them aloud
2. Students listen to the vowel sounds and identify
the sounds in the minimal pairs by clicking on the correct word.
ASSESSMENT: Students take a formal test by clicking on the
correct word having the sound they hear from the interactive websites and see
their grades on the websites immediately.
Work sheets having the minimal pairs
along with phonetic symbols of the vowel sounds that the students are going to
learn.
HOMEWORK / FOLLOW UP:
Dear Sasi,
ReplyDeleteI love your lesson plan and the focus on pronunciation. As we have already stated in this course, pronunciation tends to be neglected in our classes so I admire your devoting a whole class to it.
From what you have written in your lesson plan, I am sure this has been a very lively lesson.
Great job!

HI Sasi,
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on your lesson plan! I love that you've chosen to focus on pronunciation, particularly vowel sounds. Mastering the vowel sounds is difficult for all English language learners; the more practice, the better.
The technology you've chosen will support students in achieving the well written objectives you've included. Nice work using the ABCD model!
The lesson is a little short, but it seems long enough for students to achieve their expectations. You might consider adding an objective that's focused on student's production of the vowel sounds in minimal pairs. They could record themselves producing the sounds/words on Vocaroo, http://vocaroo.com/, and provide you with the link or file of the recording.
Also, considering your interest in vowel sounds, you should check out the Color Vowel Chart, http://www.colorvowelchart.org/index.php/explore-sp-302660307. The visual with the colors and the different letter combinations that produce the vowel sounds help reinforce English vowels. It's a great site for all learning styles.
Thanks for turning in a great plan!
Best,
Courtney
