I was just made aware of a new link that was recently made available that offers a free ESL pronunciation resource. It shows an animated flash video of how to pronounce the sounds of English. It also shows a video of the front view of a human mouth pronouncing each sound. Students can record themselves saying the sound, and then compare their pronunciation to the native English speaker's. The link also includes an animation of correct letter formation for the alphabet letters. It's a great resource to use for focused practice of the segmentals (sounds) of English. This tool is especially helpful for ESOL students. The pronunciation tool is available here. I recommend that you bookmark the page so you can easily access the link in the future. It's a great free online pronunciation resource that benefits both students and teachers.
