Japanese+Pronunciation+Activities


 * Colored Cards**

I can't seem to think of creative names for activities. To assess students in their comprehension of different pronunciations, I make two different colored squares for the students. Each color would represent a different kind of pronunciation. For example, students have difficulty with elongations and small //tsu// characters. For elongations, the red color might represent elongation and the blue might represent no elongation. By calling out words that sound similar (e.g. //obasan// vs. //obaasan//), you can check whether the students can hear the different pronunciations by having them hold up the appropriate card. This can also work for small //tsu// words (e.g.//kittekudasai// vs. //kitekudasai//).
