Pronunciation - working with the phonemic chart
Pronunciation Games - Hidden Names
Noticing the relationship between spelling and pronunciation:
E.g. c, s and sh can all be pronounced /ʃ / as in ocean, sure and shop, j, ge, and d can all be pronounced /d͡ʒ/ as in jump, ledge and soldier
What other patterns can you find from today's activity?
Vowels
Look at the difference between British English and Italian vowels in the charts below.
Think about why they are different. Consider: long/short vowels, position of the tongue, how far forward the sound is made in the mouth.
Homework
Next week we are going to work on listening skills. Think about a situation when you had difficulty listening in English. Why was it so difficult?
Going Further - listening - songs

The Smiths "Sheila Take A Bow"
Blondie "Shayla"
