Lj2 Week 37 - P1 L2 Rhyming and Pronunciation

• Engels
• MBO
• Studiejaar 2

There are 26 letters in the alphabet, but in the English language 44 sounds are used. These sounds are called phonemes.

Symbols are used to represent the different sounds (phonemes).

On the next slide you will see these symbols, together with a word in which you hear their sound.

the

Some words may be spelled differently, but use the same sound. When you look at the phonemic spelling this is made clear:

eye  -  I                     earth  -  worth

/aɪ/   /aɪ/                   / ɜːθ /     / wɜːθ /

You are now going to practice matching words which have the same sounds, even though they are spelled differently. This will help you with your English pronunciation. Simply drag the words on the right to the word with a matching sound on the left of your screen.
