Transcript for ESL Pron Activities:

Hey everybody, it's Jackie from eslspeaking.org. Today I'm going to talk about my top five ESL pronunciation activities and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little bit terrified of teaching pronunciation. At times, generally, i would skip over those sections in the textbook. However, there are a few games and activities that I like to do that make it a little bit more interesting and less intimidating for me as well.

The first one is minimal pairs bingo. A minimal pair is two words that differ by only one sound. Pit and pat, or bet and bat. They differ by only one little bit. Fill up your bingo cards with a whole bunch of different words that differ only by one sound. And I like to have a big word bank on the board and then students can kind of randomly pick what they want and then we play some bingo. Of course, the teacher has to keep track of what words you say because the challenge is in students crossing off pet instead of putt. And if they make a mistake, then they might not actually win big. So yeah, be sure to check kind of carefully for this one because it can be challenging and students can actually make a number of mistakes in that.

The next one is running dictation (   • Running Dictation, a fun ESL Activity to T...  ). So this is a group or team activity. Come up with a dialogue that has some kind of tricky pronunciation things, it can be like minimal pair stuff or it can be just words that are kind of hard to pronounce that you've been working on. Paste each sentence around the classroom. One person goes around the class reading them, and then they have to come back to their partner who's the writer, and then they say it and their partner dictates it. When they've gotten all the sentences from around the classroom, they have to put the sentences, and the conversation together into the correct order and the first team to complete it with fewer than however many errors you say, I usually say one or two is the winner.

All right, the next one is pit, pat, putt. This is kind of a fun way to really focus on pronunciation and listening skills. Put a whole bunch of words on the board that are very, very similar to each other and then you can assign each of them a number. And then you can say my phone number is 778-blah-blah and students have to write down the words that they hear. And you can also do it the opposite way, you can say the words and then get students to write down the number and they can do this together with you as a class, or you can put them in pairs and they can do it as a partner, with a partner.

The next one is fly swatter (   • Fly Swatter ESL Vocabulary Game for All Ag...  . So I put down a bunch of minimal pairs and very similar words on the board and one person from each team comes up to the front, and they each get a fly swatter. And then the teacher can say a word or have another student even say a word and then the first person to slap that word gets a point for their team. Erase it and then put down another word and then just keep playing until everyone has had a chance to play.
