Abstract

Today many students of English as a foreign language find many difficulties in order to produce and pronounce certain sounds. Moreover, the EFL classroom lacks teaching of pronunciation because of the lack of teacher training and good materials. This study has created a series of activities to improve the pronunciation of some sounds that are more difficult to Catalan student, such as / p /, / t /, /k /, / r / and / h /, in order to be able to teach them in Primary school in a more pleasant, motivating and meaningful way.
