wow Love Tounge Twister~Let Twist it~

For our task, we were asked to do a minimal pair of tongue twister to be presented in front of the class.

WHAT IS TONGUE TWISTER

- Combinations of alliteration (repetition of a sound)
- A phrase design-made very easy to slip accidentally.
- Spoonerism- words or phrases in which letters or syllables get swapped
Tease my ears (Ease my tears)
A lack of pies (A pack of lies)

Our group had chosen two tongue twister as follows:

Tongue twister 1:


If you can't can any candy can,
how many candy cans can a candy canner can,
if he can can candy cans ?

Tongue twister 2:


A big black bug bit a big black dog on his big black nose!


For me, individually this minimal tongue twister activity is an enjoyable activity for me. Apart from learning the correct pronunciation of a sound, we also can learn it through an enjoyable activity which is good in learning process.

Apart from that, some teacher tends to introduce a tongue twister to his/her class and then ask their students to say it out loud. To make tongue twister become more enjoyable, teacher can use some rhyme to that tongue twister and then sing it along with her/his students. This can attract more of the student to participate in the learning process.

From what that I can see during the class, when we do the tongue twister, I can see that all of my classmate really really enjoy it and in the mean time they also can improve their pronunciation. I do agree some of us got a superb or maybe good pronunciation in our class.

The other groups also present their own interesting tongue twister.
