CALL Review 2

From my experience of learning Chinese and English, tongue twisters are useful in aiding students' speaking ability. Just as I learned English, I also learned Chinese singing songs and memorizing tongue twisters. The most memorable one is about two brothers owning big and small pot each, and comparing their sizes. This still remains in my memory since 2008. Likewise, English tongue twisters can stimulate students' motivation and drag participation because everyone has an urge to try out tongue twisters. They will try again after they fail and they will be excited after successing pronouncing these. Just as I did, they will stay in students' memory for a long term, due to the acquisition through fun and motivation.
