    The document describes two pronunciation teaching activities. The first activity focuses on the sounds /i/ and /ε/ using minimal word pairs like "ear" and "air". Students are given picture handouts to identify the words and practice the sounds. The second activity is a homophone memory game targeting multiple sounds like /i/, /ɛ/, /aʊ/ etc. Students work in pairs or groups to match homophone word cards and say the words aloud to practice pronunciation. Both activities aim to help intermediate English learners identify, discriminate and produce different sounds through visual and social learning styles.

    Pronunciation Teaching Activity no. 1: Minimal pairs Target sound: /i/, //.

    Learning style: Visual, social Personality type: Thinking, task-oriented, spontaneous.

    Level: Intermediate

    Materials: Minimal pair handouts, board markers. Objective: To be able to identify, discriminate and produce the target sound in minimal pairs. Instructions: 1.Draw two pictures like these ones on the board:

    2. Elicit what the pictures are students should guess ear in a few seconds (unless you are a terrible artist, which will take longer but will be really funny). The second picture you can make a joke out of look really carefully, cant you see it? In the end, hopefully someone will guess air. 3. Elicit the pronunciation and the phonemes // and /e/ and drill them.

    4. Give the students the handout and get them to work out what the other pictures are. Make it very clear that the only difference is whether the word has // or /e/, so if they can guess one word it should be possible to guess the other.
