Practicing pronunciation and a grammar chunk togetherThe first language of most learners of English does not have the <th> sounds – voiced or unvoiced. So this is one of the very first things I work on with students, especially if they have been learning English for a long time and are still pronouncing <th> as /d/ or /t/ or /f/ or /s/. Another thing I like to teach my students in the early stages of a course is the importance of chunks. In the process, I capitalize on the fact that many chunks also function in grammar patterns.
Here is the top of the one-page worksheet I created for my business English students. You can download the one-pager here. If you would like to know more about creating and using the worksheet, join my mailing list where I gradually describe the tools, techniques and the background information that motivates this work. It's great to be back on this journey!
