- Tongue twister exercises. Tongue twisters are tricky, but they can force you to enunciate similar sounding words to make each phrase intelligible. For example, “Peter Piper” can help you learn to enunciate consonants (in this case, “P”).
- Consonant exercise. Consonants are speech sounds that are created when you stop air from flowing easily through the mouth. Some are made by closing your lips and others by touching your tongue to your teeth or the roof of your mouth.
- Vowel exercise. Vowels are sounds made when breath flows through the mouth without being blocked by the tongue, teeth, or lips. Vowels have several variations, including “long” and “short” sounds.
- Commonly mispronounced words exercise. Similar sounds can confuse even native English speakers. For instance, many people say or write “should of” and “could of” instead of “should have” and “could have.”
- Reverse Dictation. Goal: To check how easily understandable your pronunciation is. Phones are the ultimate gadget for studying. You can use your phone to review flashcards, check the dictionary and—yes—even to test your English pronunciation.
- Act It Out. Goal: To pick up natural intonation and body language. English movies and TV series are some of the most fun learning materials you can use!
- Minimal Pairs. Goal: To clear up the confusion with similar sounds. Minimal pairs are two words in English that are almost the same except for one sound.
- Sound Mastery. Goal: To focus on a single sound in English. Regardless of your level of proficiency in English, there might still be a few sounds that you’re having a hard time with.
- Sounds of English. These English pronunciation exercises teach students how to place their tongues when they speak syllables. For example, the /th/ sound puts the tip of the tongue in between your teeth.
- Pronunciation Pyramid. First, everyone starts at the top of the pyramid. Next, the teacher says at a level below. Individually, students circle the word they hear.
- Minimal Pairs. For each pair, the words sound extremely similar. But they are different. Students have to keep a keen ear on what they hear. As the teacher reads the box of his/her choice, students circle the word they hear.
- Minimal Pairs Game Cards. Beforehand, the teacher has to print off the handout. They cut out every word and spreads them out on pairs of desks. In pairs, students carefully listen to the teacher.
