Supplementary Materials

These are
other materials I have used inside or outside of class to assist students’
understanding of and communication in English. There are no games or activities
per se, though you can make an activity out of almost anything if you think
hard enough about it. |

A
Brief Guide to Pronunciation: II: Stops (p/b) II: Fricatives (f/v/s/z) III:
Fricatives (sh/th/) IV: Liquids (r/l) |
|
This guide, available in
four consecutive Word Document files, features graphics of the human vocal
apparatus that show students and JETs how to position their mouths correctly
in order to produce subtly different sounds like /p/, /b/. /f/. /v/, /sh/,
/s/, /z/, /th/, /r/, and /l/. They are accompanied by relatively
non-technical explanations in English. (I have found these diagrams
especially useful in coaching students for English speech contests.) |

Ever wish you could get your
students to answer the question “How are you today?” with anything other than
“Fain, sankusu, ando yuu?” Well, here is a list of
twenty-four different expressions they can use instead, complete with
Japanese equivalents and pictures for explanation… Print it on an A3
sheet of paper, and put it up in every classroom. It’s helped my students’
expressive powers measurably. |

You know DORAEMON’s DOKODEMO
DOOR? Well, this is the DOKODEMO FISH!
It’s a magical fish that can go anywhere! Just a sheet to teach prepositions
– good for first and second years mainly – with a cute name behind it really. |
