period 8 study skills
(pronunciation—linking sounds)
teaching goals
● to introduce the idea of linking words
● to identify and recognize how different sounds are linked together
● to develop students’ listening and speaking skills
teaching procedures
step 1 having a revision
—how many consonant sounds are there in the phonetics? —28.
—how many vowel sounds are there? —20.
ask the students to write them on the blackboard.
step 2 presenting
1. we usually link a consonant sound with a vowel sound together like this.
an apple→an apple
2. when two consonant sounds are the same, we only need to pronounce the sound once.
best time → best time
3. when there are two vowel sounds and the first word ends with /i/ or /i:/ sound, we join them as if there were a /j/ sound between them.
