Details: Pronunciation of Voiced and Unvoiced Sounds

A. Presentation

1. Recognizing Voiced and Unvoiced Sounds
✅ Help students distinguish between voiced and unvoiced sounds through an interactive activity.
Activity: “Feel the Vibration”
Students place their hand on their throat and say words containing the target sounds.
If they feel vibration → The sound is voiced.
If no vibration → The sound is unvoiced.
Words to Recognize:
Voiced Sounds: van, bat, zoo, vibe, buzz, bridge
Unvoiced Sounds: she, chair, fish, pat, sun, ship, chat, puff

2. Phonetics Theory: Understanding Voiced and Unvoiced Sounds
✅ Familiarize students with the phonetic characteristics of these sounds.
Voiced Sounds: /v/, /b/, /z/ (Produced when vocal cords vibrate)
Unvoiced Sounds: /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /f/, /p/, /s/ (Produced without vocal cord vibration)
📌 How to Pronounce Specific Sounds:
– B and P Consonants – English Sounds
– F and V Consonants – English Sounds
– S and Z Consonants – English Sounds
📺 Reference Video: How to make the S and Z Consonants

B. Practice

1. Practical Exercise: Articulation Practice
✅ Improve articulation by focusing on tongue placement, vocal cord involvement, and airflow.
Practice Activity – Minimal Pairs:
/f/ vs. /v/: fan – van, fine – vine, safe – save
/p/ vs. /b/: pat – bat, pen – ben, cap – cab
/s/ vs. /z/: sip – zip, bus – buzz, rice – rise
/ʃ/ vs. /tʃ/: she – cheese, shore – chore, wash – watch, shut – chutney, shop – chop
