PROCEDURE

STAGE 1 – PRESENT

Firstly, students watch a video which is related to minimal pair words. Students give their attention only how the words pronounced. They listen to song together and they learn the meaning of these minimal pairs without any Turkish word. And also they learn these words’ pronunciation easily. They watch video twice and they try to remember their pronunciation.

STAGE 2 – PRACTICE

After the video, the teacher asks students which words they heard and she writes them on the board. And then she wants them to repeat these words in a rhythm. Then the teacher chooses a student, shows a word and asks the pronunciation of this word. And then all students together repeat these words by applauding.

Then they play a game with the help of PPT presentation. Teacher shows some pictures with PPT and wants students to guess which words they are by being careful about their pronunciation. So, students can practice, memorize and repeat these words again and also they can learn their pronunciation in an effective way, because minimal pairs have same sounds.
