Description
Objective: To understand and practice the phonetic differences between the /w/ and /v/ sounds in English.
1. Introduction (10 Minutes)
Explanation:
-
/w/ (as in "wet") is a voiced glide sound produced by rounding the lips and making a smooth transition from one sound to another, with air flowing through the mouth.
-
/v/ (as in "vet") is a voiced fricative sound produced by placing the upper teeth lightly on the lower lip and forcing air out.
Demonstration and Practice:
/w/: "wet", "window", "whale"
/v/: "vet", "vase", "vivid"
Activity: Repeat sounds, focusing on the physical articulation of the mouth for both sounds.
2. Individual Practice (7-10 Minutes)
Word Practice: Give list of words containing /w/ and /v/ sounds and sentences.
/w/: "want", "water", "win"
/v/: "van", "voice", "very"
"I want to win the game."
"The van is very big."
"Water is very important."
