I was surprised to see nine familiar faces and only one new face today.
Today we talked about what we will learn over the next three months. We will cover: vowels, syllables, word stress, sentence stress, linking, consonants, intonation/pitch, and relaxed speech.
In response to the feedback form we did on the last day of the last term, I will be including more material on the correspondence between spelling and pronunciation.
We will be going to the computer lab to use pronunciation software every other Tuesday beginning next week.
Computer Lab Tuesdays:
July 13
July 27
August 10
August 24
September 14
September 28
Today we learned the phonetic symbols that we will be using in this class for CONSONANTS. We went over them together orally. Then we took three minutes to memorize the difficult ones. Finally, we played two rounds of tic-tac-toe to see which team could do a better job of remembering the symbols. The O team won twice!
Here are the symbols we learned today:

One of these symbols was left off the sheet I gave you! The symbol /ŋ/ is missing from your sheet.
For homework, I asked you to study the parts of the mouth.
