Default Re: Pronunciation Practice

Hi !

I have tried the dictation activity with a class as a pairwork.
It was too easy for them I think !! I have to complicate it a little. They wrote too simple sentences. And there was no competition so it would be more interesting if one pupil dictated his sentences to a group or to the class (as you do and proposed from the start!!) I told them to write a few sentences (questions or declarative sentences) in the future since we were studying the future. They are not inhibited at all and participate a lot so maybe it was not the best class to try it out with. It could be an excellent exercise for shy pupils because having a text to read out can reassure them and give them confidence.

What I'd like my pupils to do is try and improve their accent, and pay more attention to it (especially older pupils !!). Any tips ?
