Description: Do your adult ESL students mix up their /r/ sounds with their /l/ sounds and vice versa? They may not be able to HEAR the difference in these sounds if their language doesn't have them. For example, the Korean ㄹ may sound like our /r/, /l/, or somewhere between. If students cannot hear the difference, how can they pronounce it? They need practice. For each card, students will hear a word pair. They must identify whether they've heard the SAME word twice or two DIFFERENT ones. For extra support, they can also click on the sound icons in the bottom left-hand corner to hear just the /r/ and /l/ sounds in isolation. All of the minimal pairs are for initial sounds. As with all my decks, I made this one with adult students in mind. It will not appeal to young learners. I based this deck on a worksheet in my R/L pronunciation resource available in my TpT store. Teaching adult ESL students? You've hit the jackpot! My entire store is devoted to adult ESL resources. Be sure to check out the bundles to save money. Contact me if you want/need a custom bundle.
