Dialogue Memorisation

Page 17: The classroom activities in language teaching

A minimal pair is a pair of words that differ in a single phoneme

Minimal pairs are often used to show that two sounds contrast in a language

For example, we can demonstrate that [s] and [z] contrast in English by adducing minimal pairs

such as sip and zip, or bus and buzz

Do you repairclocks/clogs?“

It will help the students with pronunciation

Minimal Pairs
