Tongue Twisters on TH sound

Discussing the /θ/ and the /ð/ to second language learners is not that easy considering that these sounds are inexistent in their own language. Producing these two sounds and pronouncing words with them have always been a challenge. Having observed them, I let them pronounce a number of words indicating the sounds mentioned. After the speaking drill, we read a tongue twister featuring the sounds discussed. Then, I assigned them to a dyadic grouping and explained the instructions on composing tongue twisters using the words that they have learned. I gave them fifteen minutes to work on the task and some of them came up with the following:

Not every group was able to present a very good output. Nevertheless, I’m proud of my learners as they demonstrated their understanding of the lesson.
