Pronunciation skill


Pronunciation skill

    Pronunciation is essential for speaking and understanding spoken English well. It should be the FIRST thing you learn when studying a language. You should focus not only on how to make the different sounds ,but also how to hear the sounds. The  people find production difficult for many reason like:  Many sounds in English are not in your native language. For example, the 'th' sound and the 'r' sound are difficult for many speakers, Combinations of sounds can be hard to pronounce. These include 'consonant clusters', Syllable structure can vary a lot. In many languages the structure is a lot simpler, for example: Consonant Vowel Consonant Vowel, Words are not pronounced the way they are spelt and Words change their pronunciation when in a sentence.

 I find this two website for practices how to pronounce the word correctly. It is too benefit and helpful for learner and who interesting in English language.   
 CLICK HERE

 In the two website, There are a system of symbols for writing the sounds of English. We have a guide to these symbols and also videos to show how to pronounce each of the sounds. There are also activities to practice identifying the difference between certain sounds which may sound similar. Interactive quizzes to test your knowledge of and help you learn about English pronunciation.
Children able to use it from 4 to 10 years.

 There is some activity in this website:

1)  Key and Pin[ I ] [i:]:

  in this activity the learner able to click the listen button to hear each word below. They all have the same /i:/ sound as key. When you think you can identify the sound click continue.

 2) videos:


    The learner able to show video about the how to pronounce it the long and short vowel and have a chance to repeat the sound . I think it is a useful to know the sound of each letter.

 
3) Vowels:


 Students look at an image of a phoneme and then try to find the same phoneme in one of the following words. This can be done with students working alone or in groups or even as part of a class pronunciation practice game. It makes learning the phonetic alphabet, which is so important for ESL students, more enjoyable.
