Chip or Cheap - September 14, 2020
Paid LessonLesson Collection #1 - Lesson 17c
Distinguishing between the pronunciation of the two words chip & cheap can be difficult for some students. With this lesson, students will have a lot of fun working together to practice pairs of words such as fit & feet, ship & sheep and pitch & peach.
Inherent in this lesson is a kind of puzzle; the answers to which emerge during the lesson giving students a visual confirmation of their accuracy (or lack thereof!)
And, even though this is basically a pronunciation lesson, students will also be learning new vocabulary, following directions and drawing lines.
There are similar worksheets available for other pronunciation practice. They are:
Cloud or Crowd? (See Lesson 17a above.)
Backs or Box? (See Lesson 17b above.)
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Hi Kurt,
Your collection of lesson worksheets is really great. It makes my teaching much easier and funnier. I work in an International House School in Ukraine. We all enjoy your lessons, especially our students. Your illustrations are just great.

Dear Kurt,
The result of your workseets in the classroom is amazing. Students go crazy about this new kind of practice material, which is completely different from what they can find in Textbooks.
On the other hand, all worksheets foster speaking and interactions, which are so difficult to achive. I hope this site will keep on working hard to provide us, not so imaginative teachers, with ready-made quality material for use in the classroom.
Congratulations!

Hello, Kurt!
It’s always very stimulating to get my e-mail every Sunday morning because I know there will be one of your lessons in it. I read them every week and have tried to put them in practice. I must say they really work! Thanks a lot for the great lessons. As a teacher and teacher trainer, sometimes I run out of ideas. Your lessons are very important, not only for me but for my trainees as well.
Best regards,
Ilza Nascimento
