Baruch College Tools to Go

I use this more for teacher understanding of features, but advanced learners could use it themselves

Audiobooks or Books with recordings

Grant, L. (2017). Well Said. Pronunciation for Clear Communication. Fourth Edition. National Geographic Learning.

Grant, L. & Yu, E. E. (2017). Well Said Intro. Pronunciation for Clear Communication. Second Edition. National Geographic Learning.

Both books contain lots of great activities to teach pronunciation effectively based on the Communicative Framework by Celce-Murcia et al. (2010).

Pronunciation Science charts

2023-12-07 16:43:05 UTC

I helped to design these particular charts, but before I got involved with that, as a learner of Japanese I became very enthusiastic about the type of materials and the approach behind them. There are complementary phoneme, vocabulary (function words) and spelling charts.

British Council resources

2023-12-07 16:43:27 UTC

I mostly use resources provided by the British Council, Oxford University Press, Macmillan Education, Cambridge University Press and YouGlish.

I use videos/ podcasts/ lesson plans, extracts from books and I adapt them according to my context. I trust these resources

YouGlish

2023-12-07 16:43:43 UTC

With Youglish, it's really easy to listen to a single word and/or phrase in variety of contexts, used authentically, by many speakers. Basically, the search leads you to various videos where speakers use the target word in their speech.

Golden Speaker

The learner records their sentences and the tool synthesises the learner's voice so that they hear how it sounds in a target accent.
