Question Pronunciation in China

Hi,

I'm working at a training school in Fujian Province China with students from high school age to adults. It is common for them even at some of the higher levels to have an "a" sound at the end of their words. Example: time-a, drink-a.

Any thoughts on how to help them? I've tried using phonetics and repeat exercises where I say the word and they repeat it even peer corrections don't seem to help much. Sometimes I even gesture with my hand when to cut off a word so that they don't stretch out the sound.

Thanks.
