Objective: This activity will focus on getting students
to produce the /l/ sound in word final position. (vowel) + /l/.
This
activity is based on the pronunciation needs of Speaking Sample A: http://www.language.ca/documents/helen_6.mp3
Materials: Whiteboard and marker
Activity:
1.)
Begin
activity by getting the class to make the /l/ sound by itself. Mention that the
tongue should behind the teeth, close to the gum ridge. Also mention that air
comes out from both sides of the tongue when making this sound. Then get the
students to make the /l/ sound again, but try to stretch it out of as long as
possible.
2.)
Next,
pair the /l/ sound with vowels and get the class to repeat after you, and
continue to get the students to exaggerate the /l/ sound.
Ex: /al/ /el/ /ol/ /ul/
3.)
After
that, get the class to come up with words that end in the /l/ sound. Tell
students to only give examples with one syllable. Write these on the board and
divide them up by what vowel precedes the /l/ sound. For example:
/a/ tall, fall, ball,
/e/ sell, bell, well
/i/ fill, will, pill
/o/ pole, hole, roll
/u/full, pull, bull
4.)
Finally,
get the class to repeat the words out loud with you.
