Pupils
Ss listen, point to the word they hear (for example, the word with the long /aɪ/ sound) and repeat in chorus, then individually.
Teacher
T asks: Which word ends with the sound /i/? Which word ends with the sound /aɪ/? T plays the NeoEdu exercise Listen and choose and checks the answers together.
