FUNNY PRONOUNCIATION

Sometimes,it i hard for students to keep in mind the sound of a lot of words,because, probably, they don't have an effective motivation which to put in practice their knowledge about it,one way of teaching pronounciation from a different perspective is using the TPR method,which is excellent for doing the class interesting and funny,through this method teacher gives some commands which have to be perform by the professor several times with the purpose that the students hear as much as possible the sounds that are being pronounced and after that to put in practice them.The brain is a wonderful store where are kept different sounds we had heard,once they are activated by the repetition of them,we can do relations between what we hear and what we have stored in our mind.Some activities appropriates for this purpose is to say simple commands such as "Let's go to read the following reading" or "Be quiet,please", they are simple phrases which can be perfectly practiced by students,also it is good to play a simple song many times with the purpose students familiarizes with the sounds they heard or simple dialogues.Of course,teacher has to select the most adequate tool which have to be related with common activities with understandable words,it is impossible to teach something in a direct way,the learning process has to be flexible progressive,that is, step by step,I'm sure, learning will be meaningful and significative.I know that it will hard for students memorize a lot of sounds,but with many practce and disposition,there will not any kind of barrier to learn them.
