B. Development-
Activity 1.SS will receive a brief explanation on how to make the
''th''sound ,the teacher will explain them they have to put their
tongue against their upper teeth and they will have to blow air slightly
in the upper part and in the lower as well. They will try to make
it unvoiced avoiding their vocal strings to vibrate.
2.SS will receive a feather taken from the feather stick ant will
be asked to put in on their palm and to make the desired sound and
once they can make it they can pronounce the word and blow the feather.
The teacher will have them to try to pronounce some words in this
way ,all at the same time walking around the classroom and will have
them to do it while He/She monitors them.
Activity 2.- SS will be asked to remember the sound of radio waves
interference and to emulate it,for the ''sh'' sound acquisition,the
teacher will take the old radio and will turn the synthesizer knob
while making the sh sound and after a little lap of time the teacher
will act to have found a radio station sounding some word that starts
with ''sh'' like shhhhhhhhhhy! then the teacher asks SS to do it one
by one.
Activity 3.-The teacher will show the SS how to make the ''h'' sound
using a mirror.SS will be taught how to make this sound and will try
to steam up the mirror and just saying the word in turn if the have
seemed it.

C. Practice-
In the practice part of this lesson We will use music to teach diphthongs.
The teacher will sing a couple of memorable lines and the SS will
sing along Him/Her ,at the end of the lines students will pronounce
some words that rime with the ending word of the song in a rhythmic
way.
Ex.
I composed a brief line which says ♫ I want to learn some English
today ♫ hey hey hey ♫ (SS say hey hey hey) then the teacher sings
♫ break ,break break ♫ (SS sing break,break,break,) and so on.... |

D. Independent Practice-
Independent practice will help them to feel confident if they are
not comfortable pronouncing in front of the whole class. The feather
activity will help them a lot since they will be trying it and walking
around the classroom chasing their feathers. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
The best way to check their understanding in this lesson will be
the fact that they are or not pronunciating correctly. |

review pronunciation seen during the week and to step a little out
of a tight ''rule teaching method ''having as a main purpose the FUN
factor.The SS will find this lesson comfortable and will get involved
in an inductive way of approach of English pronunciation by the use
of TPR, real and group interaction. |
