Lesson Overview:

This lesson is designed to help English learners clearly understand and correctly pronounce the vowel sounds /ʌ/ (as in cup) and /ɑ/ (as in car). These sounds often confuse learners, especially when they appear in similar-looking words. Through guided practice, clear examples, and engaging activities, students will build confidence in speaking English more clearly and naturally.

  • Recognition and production of the /ʌ/ and /ɑ/ vowel sounds
  • Common spelling patterns for each sound
  • Vocabulary building using 10 high-frequency words
  • Sentence-level pronunciation practice
  • Listening and word-sorting exercises (in lesson only)
  • Sound awareness through reading and speaking activities
 
Who This Lesson Is For:

  • Perfect for beginners and intermediate learners
  • Students who struggle with pronunciation clarity
  • Learners preparing for speaking exams (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL)
  • Anyone wanting to sound more natural and confident in English

Teaching Methodology:

My teaching style is clear, supportive, and interactive. I focus on student participation and speaking practice, so learners actively use what they learn. Here’s how I structure the lesson:
 
  • Begin with sound introduction and how to shape your mouth
  • Practice 10 target words with meaning and example sentences
  • Engage in a short story reading using the words in context
  • Use contrast and comparison techniques to highlight sound differences
  • Offer interactive exercises (only available to booked students)
  • I also provide tips on how to improve pronunciation through daily practice and listening.
Lesson Benefits:

  • Improved pronunciation of two common English sounds
  • Better listening and speaking skills
  • A boost in speaking confidence
  • Fun and meaningful learning experience
