Exercise 3a -Tell students: “You’re going to hear some words. Just listen carefully. Don’t repeat yet.” -Ask ICQs -Play Audio 3a once. -Ask general questions: •How many words did you hear? •Were all the words pronouncing the same way? •Did you notice any words that sounded similar?

-Write the two target sounds /ɜː/ and /ə/ on the board. -Write examples from Activity 3a. -Ask a few CCQs (e.g., Which sound is longer? Do these words have the same vowel sound?) -Briefly explain that /ɜː/ is a long vowel sound, while /ə/ is a short, weak vowel sound. -Model the pronunciation of the words from Activity 3a, focusing on each sound. -Students repeat through choral, group, and individual drilling.

Exercise 3b -Tell students: “Listen and repeat the words. Pay attention to the pronunciation of the two target sounds, /ɜː/ and /ə/. Then, practise saying the words with your partner.” (First time listening only. Second time listen and repeat) -Ask ICQs. -Play the audio. -Play the audio again, pausing after each word for students to repeat chorally. -Conduct group and individual drilling, providing immediate correction when needed. -Write the target words randomly on the board and ask individual students to read them aloud. -Give quick feedback.

Find Your Tongue-Twister partner -Prepare word cards. Each pair of cards forms a short two-word tongue twister with the same target sound. -Example Cards /ɜː/ •nurse – work •worker – world •Thursday – worker /ə/ •doctor – teacher •police – about •banana – teacher •today – police -Give each student one word card. -Students walk around the classroom saying only their word aloud. -They listen carefully to classmates’ pronunciation to find the person whose word has the same target vowel sound. -Once they find their partner, they stand together and practise saying the two words together three times like a mini tongue twister. •“Nurse, work! Nurse, work! Nurse, work!” •“Doctor, teacher! Doctor, teacher! Doctor, teacher!” -Each pair then says their two-word tongue twister aloud to the class. -Ask ICQs. -Monitor then provide quick pronunciation feedback.

Create a TV Job Advertisement -Divide students into pairs. -Each pair chooses one job (teacher, nurse, doctor, police officer, worker, etc.). -They create a 30-second job advertisement to encourage people to apply. -Give students 4–5 minutes to prepare and practise their pronunciation. Example: “Are you a nurse? Come and work at our hospital! We offer flexible hours and a friendly work environment.” -Ask ICQS. -Monitor and provide help if needed. -Each pair presents their advertisement orally to the class. -After each presentation, classmates identify the target words they heard. -Then the class votes for: •The clearest pronunciation. •The most creative advertisement. -Provide brief whole class feedback on pronunciation, highlighting accurate production and correcting common errors if necessary.
