You can look through the book and do any units that you feel are important for you. Ifyou want to check your pronunciation, it is a good idea to do all the units in the order that they appear in the book.INTRODUCTION FOR TEACHERS Level This book is written for beginner-elementary students, but previous editions have also been used by students at other levels. Ship or Sheep? is written for intermediate level. Class/Student working alone The instructions are written for a student working alone, but can be used for classroom teaching as well. See the symbols in the section About this book, especially @& and gah . Minimal pairs In this book, these are pairs of words/sentences which differ by only one sound, e.g. Have you got a pen?/Have you got a pan? These sometimes help students to hear — and then pronounce - sounds that are difficult for them. You may want to extend students’ class practice of particular minimal pairs by inventing games or playing the following: * ‘Card games’ Make cards for all the minimal pairs in units 1-6, Shuffle the cards and deal them face down all around the table, Turn over any two cards and read the words aloud. If they aren't minimal pairs turn them face down again and the next person plays. Collect as many pairs as you can ina time limit, e.g. ten minutes. Fingers’ For each pair, say words rapidly at random, e.g. tree tree three three tree three. Students show with one or two fingers if they hear sound 1 or sound 2. Students practise in pairs and then back to back.
