Consonant Cluster Cards– A Tool to Enhance Pronunciation

S. Gowrie, Dr. Ar. Saravanakumar, Dr. S. Subbiah

Abstract :

In this article we have dealt with the concept of using consonant cluster cards to develop learners’ pronunciation in terms of consonant clusters. The non native speakers of English find it very difficult to pronounce words with consonant cluster sets as they do not have any such equivalent sounds in their mother tongue. With proper guidance in articulation and drill and practice in consonant cluster sounds we can enhance the learners’ pronunciation. Consonant cluster cards are very useful in giving guidance and drill and practice. Along with the development in pronunciation learners acquire thinking power, correct spelling, vocabulary and interest to use English language. As these are learner centered the students use these activities freely without any fear or hesitation. These cards can be used frequently in the English class rooms to motivate the learners to pronounce well.
