The document also serves as a portfolio where students record the conversations on videos.

In this lesson students will complete different activities around minimal pairs. The lesson is built in a Numbers document which allows clear scaffolding of the lesson, self-check quizzes and the ability to add voice recordings. This makes the tried and tested minimal pair activities much more interactive and engaging for the students. Students first try to distinguish minimal pairs in a quiz. Then they try pronouncing some. To loosen up their mouth muscles they will add voice recordings of some tongue twisters. The pair activity will let them practice pronouncing and distinguishing minimal pair sounds. Each activity can be self evaluated whereby the scores are collected on the reflection page. The teacher can end the lesson with a fun minimal pair bingo game. *Because of the interactive nature and design of the Numbers document this lesson can only be used in classes with iPads or Macbooks using the Numbers app.
