Contents introduction chapter ι. Theoritical point of the importance of phonetics in language learning and how to be taught

Here are some examples of activities about phonetics that can be used in pre and primary school English lessons:


Activitiy.1In this exercise, children have to choose the letters inside the box by finding the letters that start with the objects in the given pictures
Activity.2 Matching sounds: Prepare a set of picture cards that correspond to different sounds. For example, you could have a picture of a cat, a cup, and a car for the 'c' sound. Have students sort the pictures by matching them to the correct sound.





Activity.3 Phonics Bingo: Create bingo boards with different phonetic sounds instead of numbers. Call out a word that corresponds to each sound and have students mark off the corresponding sound on their bingo board.


Activity.4 Sound scavenger hunt: Hide pictures around the classroom that correspond to different sounds. Have students find the pictures and then say the corresponding sound out loud.



Activity.5 Word families: Choose a phonetic sound and create a word family chart with words that have the same sound pattern. Have students practice saying the words out loud and sorting them into the correct word family.



Activity.6 Blending and segmenting: Using flashcards with simple words, have students practice blending the sounds together to form the word. Then, have students segment the word into its individual sounds.



Activity.7 Tongue twisters: Use tongue twisters that focus on specific sounds to help students practice their pronunciation. Repeat the tongue twister slowly at first, and then gradually speed up.



These activities can be modified based on the age and language level of the students and can be done in groups or individually. They can be integrated into daily English lessons or used as standalone activities to reinforce phonetic concepts.
