.you must say the words right and let the puplis repeat after you
listening and listening and listening .Children can copy sounds better than us.So the answer key is listening.
Pronounce the word correctly for the student and then it's a case of constant repetition, by them. However as we know, we all struggle with at least one word in the English vocabulary and many of us have devised different solutions for overcoming this "problem". The word I had problems with as a youngster was "ABOMINABLE", the way round it for me was to break it down into syllables, spelling it as it sounded not as it was actually spelt (very much the American way of spelling)! In my example it would show as: "A-BOMB-IN-A-BULL", initially I would say it slowly stressing the different syllables and then gradually "speed" up until it bcame a "word" and not just a series of syllables. Other examples are: "CAT-A-STROF-IC" (catastrophic), "LEF-TEN-ANT" (English pronunciation), LOO-TEN-ANT (American pronunciation) for Lieutenant. So on and so forth.
I pornounce them for the pupils correctly and let them repeat them after me individually
