- 1Identify plosive consonant sounds in spoken words by listening carefully to the initial and final consonant sounds
- 2Play short audio of words: pan, tap, gap, bad, top, dog; learners raise hand when they hear a 'popping' sound at the start or end
|
- RECOGNISING AND PRODUCING VOICELESS PLOSIVES /P/, /T/, /G/
- 1Using the Dictionary and Exercise book, write on board: pen, top, gap. Say each word clearly; learners repeat chorally three times, focusing on the first sound. Ask: Where does the air stop and then release? Demonstrate by placing hand near mouth
- 2Learners open their textbook to the phonetics section; read aloud ten words from the reading materials containing /p/, /t/, /g/ (e.g., Kofi picked ten plantains; Yaw tied the tape; Ama got a gift at Kejetia Market)
- 3Learners pair up; one partner says a /p/, /t/, or /g/ word from the textbook; the other identifies which plosive sound and repeats it correctly
- DISTINGUISHING VOICED AND VOICELESS PLOSIVES /B/, /D/, /K/
- 4Show minimal pairs on board: pan/ban, tap/dab, cap/gap. Say pair slowly; learners feel the vibration in their throat (voiced /b/, /d/) versus no vibration (voiceless /p/, /t/). Write the answer in exercise books
- 5Using the reading materials, read sentences aloud with both voiced and voiceless plosives: Benin bought beans; Dela danced at the durbar. Learners identify which plosives are voiced (throat vibration) and mark them in their exercise book
- 6Learners work in pairs; each pair receives four words (bad, pad, dig, pig); they sort them by voiced or voiceless plosive and say each aloud to check articulation. Use Textbook during the task.

|
- 1Learners stand in two groups: Group A produces voiceless plosives (/p/, /t/, /g/), Group B produces voiced plosives (/b/, /d/, /k/); teacher calls a word, matching group repeats it aloud together
- 2Ask learners: Can you say a sentence using at least two plosive sounds? Three volunteers give one sentence each (e.g., Ama bought bananas at the market; Kwesi picked plantains); class repeats each sentence once
Exercise
- 1Teacher says five words one at a time (pan, bad, top, dig, gap); learners write in exercise book whether the initial plosive is voiced or voiceless, or identify which plosive sound they hear
