THIS WILL BE MY TOPIC FOR THE TEACHERS AT THE WORKSHOP TOMORROW.
They are still having trouble with pronunciation making a distinction between short a sounds and short e sounds. For that matter, 'i' is also becoming an issue.
I created this sentence because it is something that I have discovered makes no sense when they say it.
What they say is ‘Texens pay texas in texeez’
Whoever gets it right will win a durian – they love them, and they are in season! Should be a good motivator.
Don’t be too amused - remember my pronunciation of the villages I travel to.
I completely butchered the village of Pangerang.
I pronounced it pang garh ang
The correct pronunciation for the word is Poongh ah rungh
Also found The Cat in the Hat online, so copied a page of that story for the teachers to practice circling the short vowel sounds in the text. Should be fun, because they can then pass the exercise on to the children. I cannot find a copy of that book anywhere here. Maybe I need to ask for that book in my CARE PACKAGE???? I could then hold a lottery for the schools to see who gets to keep it when I leave.
