Answers:
spelt??
Anyways, I've had success in working with mirrors and minimal pairs. Sometimes it's the placement of articulation (tongue, teeth, lips, palate, etc) that throws ELLs off.
Don't work it to the point of frustration, though. Come up with a few patterned examples (ie., bill, will, fulfill, until, pill, ill / bell, well, fell, tell, relevant, telephone, elephant...).
I suggest books and cassette tapes or Cd's for Spanish speaking people who are studying English.
Hi. I teach community ESL to adult Spanish speakers in San Francisco and my curriculum is very flexible. Therefore I use Dr. Seuss books like Hop on Pop and Green Eggs and Ham to teach reading. Many but not all Dr. Seuss books were written specifically for teaching phonetics, so the words are chosen for this purpose. Be careful in choosing the right book - some are more useful than others. My students also love the books because they are fun and silly.
