ESL Pronunciation Web Sites

 

 

These are speaking and listening resources on the web that could apply to any level, 071-073 and 078. 

 

 

1.  This site gives explanations and examples of all English segments. Students can hear examples of the sound and a word that contains the sound.  In order to use the site, students should know a system for describing sounds in terms of points and manners of articulation, that is, articulatory phonetics.  This system is taught in some of our materials, particularly for English 078.
