Starter Unit 3 Welcome! Section 2 Pronunciation
Content Analysis
What: This section focuses on the pronunciation of the five vowel letters a, e, i, o, u in stressed closed syllables. It presents words with these vowel sounds in a tabular form, followed by exercises where students classify words according to their vowel sounds and practice reading. Additionally, there is a fun chant that contains words with these vowel sounds to help students further solidify their pronunciation skills.
Why: Mastering the pronunciation of vowel letters in stressed closed syllables is fundamental for students’ accurate word reading and language learning. It enables them to read words independently, improves their listening comprehension, and enhances their overall language proficiency. The chant not only makes the learning process more enjoyable but also helps students develop a sense of rhythm and intonation in English.
How：The teaching materials first introduce the vowel sounds in a clear and organized manner. Students are guided to observe the words, listen to their pronunciation, and imitate them. The classification exercises require students to apply the learned pronunciation rules to group words, which deepens their understanding. The chant provides a real-life context for practicing the vowel sounds, making the learning more practical and engaging.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this section, students will be able to:
1. Recognize and accurately pronounce the common short sounds of the five vowel letters a, e, i, o, u in stressed closed syllables, specifically / /, /e/, / /, / /, / /.
2. Classify words containing these vowel letters based on their pronunciation in stressed closed or open syllables.
3. Read common monosyllabic words with these vowel letters correctly, improving their word- reading ability.
4. Read the chant smoothly and rhythmically, understand the content of the chant and enjoy the fun of English language learning.

2. Apply the pronunciation rules consistently when reading new words, especially those with complex letter combinations.
3. Read the chant with the correct rhythm and intonation, which requires a good understanding of the vowel sounds and the overall flow of the chant.
Procedure
Teaching Activity Learning Activity Purposes
Step 1: Lead-in Show some pictures of animals and plants. Randomly point to an object, say a word with a vowel sound in a stressed closed syllable, like “cat”, ask students to repeat the word and guess which picture it corresponds to. T: Today, we are going to explore the secret of vowel sounds in words. These sounds will help us read words better and understand English more easily. Let’s start our journey! T: First, look at these pictures of animals and plants. I’ll point to an object and say a word, like cat. Repeat after me: cat. Now, guess which picture this word matches. Ready Let’s begin. 1. Observe the pictures carefully and listen attentively to the words. Try to repeat the words accurately and match them with the correct pictures. 2. Listen to the teachers’ introduction and get excited about learning vowel sounds. Review relevant vocabulary, spark students’ curiosity about vowel sounds, and lay a foundation for the subsequent pronunciation lesson.
Step 2: Pronunciation Introduction 1. Present the table of vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables on the board or via a projector. Point to each row, and clearly articulate the vowel letter, its corresponding sound, and the example words — for instance, “a, / /, cat, map”. Have students repeat after you several times. T: Now, let’s look at this table of vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables. I’ll show each vowel letter, its sound, and some example words. Watch and listen closely: The letter “a” makes the sound / /, as in “cat” and “map”; “e” makes /e/, as in “hen” and “pen”; “i” makes / /, as in “pig” and “fit”; “o” makes / /, as in “dog” and “hot”; “u” makes / /, as in “cup” and “bus”. Repeat after me: / /... cat... map; /e/... hen... pen... Demonstrate the correct mouth and tongue positions for each vowel sound. For example, when producing the sound / /, open the mouth wide, with the tongue low and flat. Ask students to imitate and check their own mouth and tongue positions using a mirror if possible. T: Next, let’s focus on the correct mouth and tongue positions for each sound. For / /, open your mouth wide, lower your tongue, and keep it flat. If you have a mirror, take a look — imitate my position. Great! Now try /e/: open your mouth a little less, and raise your tongue slightly ... 1. Watch the teacher’s demonstration and listen carefully to the vowel sounds and example words. Repeat the sounds and words, trying to imitate the teacher’s pronunciation as accurately as possible. 2. Imitate the mouth and tongue positions, and check in a mirror to ensure the correct pronunciation. Help students understand the pronunciation of vowels in stressed closed syllables and master the correct pronunciation methods.
Step 3: Word Classification Practice 1. Divide the class into groups of four. Give each group a set of word cards containing various words with the vowels a, e, i, o, u. Instruct them to sort the cards into groups according to the vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables, following the example of the table. T: Let’s work in groups of four. Each group will get a set of word cards. Your task is to sort these cards into groups based on the vowel sounds we just learned (/ /, /e/, / /, / /, / /), just like the table on the board. Discuss with your group members and place each word under the correct vowel sound. I’ll walk around to help if you need it. After 5 minutes, each group will share their results. 2. Circulate among the groups, observing their progress and offering help if needed. After some time, ask each group to present their classification results. 1. Work in groups to sort the word cards. Discuss with group members about the vowel sounds in each word and place the cards in the correct groups. / /：apple, cat, hat, map, bag /e/：pen, hen, red, bed, leg / /：pig, big, fish, milk, six / /：dog, hot, box, fox, lot / /：cup, bus, duck, nut, jump 2. Listen to other groups’ presentations and compare their results with yours. If there are differences, discuss and clarify the correct classification. Reinforce students’ understanding of vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables through hands - on practice. Promote teamwork and communication skills.
Step 4: Chant Reading 1. Show the chant on the board or a handout. Read the chant aloud slowly for the first time, emphasizing the vowel sounds in each word. Then read it again at a normal speed, and let students follow you. T: Now, let’s learn a fun chant! Listen carefully as I read it slowly first. Pay attention to the vowel sounds in each word. 2. Divide the class into two teams. Have a chant-reading competition, where each team takes turns reading a line of the chant. The team with better pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation wins. 1. Listen to the teacher’s chant reading, focusing on the vowel sounds. Follow the teacher to read the chant, trying to keep up with the rhythm and intonation. 2. Participate in the chant-reading competition. Listen carefully to the other teams’ performance and make evaluations in pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation （语调）.

Practice vowel sounds in a fun and engaging way. Develop students’ sense of rhythm and intonation in English.
Step 5: Summary and Homework 1. Summarize the key points about vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables on the board—including the sounds of a, e, i, o, u and how to classify words. Ask students to copy the summary into their notebooks. T: Let’s summarize today’s key points. In stressed closed syllables, the five vowel letters make these sounds: a / /, e /e/, i / /, o / /, u / /. We also learned to classify words by their vowel sounds and practiced with a chant. Copy this summary into your notebooks. 2. Assign homework: Level A: Practice the vowel sounds, write more words containing these sounds, and share them with your classmates by reading the words aloud. Level B: Find five new words with vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables from your textbooks or reading materials, write them down, and pronounce them correctly for your parents or other family members. 1. Copy the summary into their notebooks and review the key points of vowel sounds. 2. Find new words with vowel sounds in stressed closed syllables, write them down, and practice pronouncing them with family members. Review and reinforce the learned pronunciation knowledge. Encourage students to practice pronunciation outside the classroom.
