Discovery activity
The general aim of discovery activities is to experience the auditory, visual and physical aspects of sounds.
Look at the chart of phonemic symbols and try to pronounce individual sounds (i.e. monophthongs, diphthongs and consonants).
To make this experience more vivid, there are 3 kinds of feedback you can give yourself:
♦kinesthetic feedback: the internal physical sensation of touch and of muscle movement in your throat/mouth/tongue/lips, etc.
♦auditory feedback: what you hear, externally through the air, and internally through your head (you can even block your ears with your
fingers or go under water in a bath)
♦visual feedback: any physical movement connected with the production of the sound that you can see in yourself or in others (it's very
helpful to have a mirror available)
You can also deepen your observations by making use of three kinds of voicing, each of which shows different aspects of articulations:
- speaking aloud
- whispering
- mouthing silently (miming)
