My adult beginners want help with their pronunciation. I am aware that the problems with pronunciation differs from country to country, the f sound being an example of a sound that the Koreans struggle with. Does anyone have any hints re teaching activities and games that will help the Koreans in particular to start getting it right?

Not easy to pronounce foreign sounds I guess other than practice. Koreans have trouble with quite a few English sounds, like "f" and "z" and most consonant blends. One little activity may be to try tongue twisters? It could be fun.

Lots of good materials are available for this....

If you need help with the basics of how to produce the sounds the Sound Foundations by Adrian Underhill is a good start.

Thanks for the tips, the tongue twisters seemed to go down well.
There are many to choose from at: http://www.uebersetzung.at/twister/en.htm.
