New ESL Vowels & Phonetics PowerPoint

Teaching vowels and phonetics to your ESL students is boring.

No one wants to do it, but gosh, you kind of have to. I guess you could leave it to the native English teachers at the schools, but they often mess it up.

So that’s why I have this simple and easy and fast ESL phonetics PowerPoint.  It’s got 22 slides and all of them look just about like this:

ESL Lesson on Vowels and Phonetics

There’s not a lot of frills, bells, or whistles on this ESL Vowels Powerpoint. You will get some animation settings, meaning that each answer appears one at a time, and that’s why those little “1,2,3” numbers are showing up. And trust me, this makes the PowerPoint last a lot longer!

English Grammar Rules for ESL Students

There are lots of rules in this ESL Vowels and Phonics PowerPoint, and that makes it great for older students. I know this works well with mid-level and upper-level students, especially teenagers that want to know more of the nuts and bolts of language learning.

Rules for ESL vowels

You’ll get a lot of that, including rules and exceptions to the rules. Confused yet? Yeah, being a native speaker, this can be a little weird. I mean, phonetics isn’t really taught that much in schools, you just kind of learn it by being in a native English environment.

Unfortunately, that’s not really possible for your students…so we recite sentences instead!

ESL Sentences

Students will get a chance to practice their chops by reciting sentences or reading them along with you.  It’s got a lot of slides like that in this informative ESL PowerPoint, and your students will pick up a lot.

But…Isn’t This Boring?

Yeah, this ESL PowerPoint is boring as hell, I’m not gonna lie to you. But that doesn’t mean it’s worthless.

So how do you not make this boring?  I mean, it consists of vowels…and phonetics…and rules!

I’m not sure every teacher can make it fun, but you can try, and here are a few ways…with games!

• Teams: You have boys and girls on each side of the class. They take turns reading a sentence, and if they make a mistake they lose a point. So you might want to start each team with 10 points. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. (No points are given out).
  

• Ball Throw:  Try putting different phonetic scripts up on the board. When a student reads a sentence, they have to then try and throw the ball at the correct sound or vowel or whatever. If they hit they get 2 points. If they miss but did a good job they get 1 point.
  

• Run & Race: Two students, preferably and boy and girl, will race up to the board and slap different phonetic scripts you have their. The one that can name the most words in 5 seconds gets the most points (1 point a word).
  

• Paper Grab: You have a hat of paper scraps or just have them laid out on the floor. Students pick them, and they either have words or phonetic sounds on them. Students then have to say as many words or sounds as they can to get as many points as they can for their team.
  

• Monster Draw: Kind of stupid, but you draw a phonetic or vowel monster, and explain to the class where it lives, what sounds it makes, and how it scares the hell out of bad grammar students.
  

Gosh, maybe this ESL Vowels & Phonetics PowerPoint isn’t that boring after all, huh?
