Hey everyone, I'm going to be teaching a pair of pronunciation classes for the first time next week, and was wondering if anyone had any interesting ideas. I was thinking of giving some basic instruction/modeling the pronunciation of a few things during the first part of class, and then playing a game of Jeopardy during the second part using tongue twisters, some limericks, a little bit of minimal pair work, some reading work, etc. Does anyone have any resources or materials they'd recommend for this type of class?

I don't envy you having a whole class full of pron. But this book has a few fun activities that can leaven the session.

Pretty sure it can be DLed if you don't have it already in your school.

Most of them worked OK enough, but some require adaptation for local conditions. So, not all of them are ready-to-go.

Anyway, PM sent.
