Looking for as many opinions as possible on this, as well as any literature, studies, or other references. I'm trying to find out what solutions are out there, and how useful they've been.
What do you do when faced with students who have trouble producing the following sounds:
th as in the and writhe ð
th as in three and with θ
v as in van and love
f as in phone and cough
y as in year j
w as in week
s, sh, and z, as in "she sells seashells"
What has worked for you? what has not? What literature should I check out?
Please indicate your students' L1. I'm particularly looking for info on Japanese ESL learners, but all other comments are most welcome.
I'm not looking for info on the l/r problem.
Cheers, everyone!
