ACTIVITY

Pronunciation problem such as wrong diphthongs pronunciation can cause some

listener cannot understand the information that we deliver. It is important for students to
know how to pronounce it correctly. Diphthong is a sound made by gliding from one
vowel position to another. It means that diphthongs are represented phonetically by
sequences of two vowels, the first showing the starting point and the second indicating
the direction of movement. So, in order to be able to pronounce diphthongs correctly
teachers must show some examples that have diphthongs sound. Here is some
activities that I created to help students to improve their pronunciation in the English
language.
