Red face Tips for teaching pronunciation?

Hi guys,
I have a private class, that Iīve had for a year now, and the thing is their pronunciation doesnīt seem to improve. The 2 girls are 9 and 12 ( I have them separately). I only have half an hour with them each week just to go over their homework and review things they donīt understand. So, I read a text with them, sentence by sentence and get them to repeat after me. But what they repeat sounds like a different language! How can I get them to pronounce better, and does anyone have any more interesting ideas for pronunciation than repetition?!
Thanks once again
