Lesson Plan Content:
Intrusive sounds in IELTS Listening
Correct the spelling mistakes on the next page.
Try to find what the spelling mistakes have in common and use that to check that you have corrected the right parts.
Check your answers with the suggested answers, then use those answers to check if you guessed the right thing in common between the mistakes.
Why are the wrong parts spelled that way?
What three extra sounds are added?
Which sounds affect which of those three extra sounds are added?
In groups, practise saying the words they are written with the spelling mistakes, correcting each other if the pronunciation is too close to the correct spelling version.
Test each other on the words:
- Choose one of the lines, say it either the way it is spelt or with the extra sound, and see if your partner can hear which way you are saying it
- Say one of the lines with the linking sound and see if your partner can hear which of the three linking sounds you used
- Say one of the lines quickly with the extra linking sound and see if your partner can repeat it back slowly as two clear words with no linking
- Choose one of the lines, say it the way it is correctly spelt (without the linking sound) and see if your partner can pronounce it back with the usual fast pronunciation (with the linking sound)
- Say one of the words with the normal fast pronunciation (with the linking sound) and see if your partner can spell it
