Speech Accent Archive, ManyThings.org, Vocaroo.com - 3 good English Pronunciation tools.

The Speech Accent Archive is a pretty interesting site for students to hear people from all over the world read the same paragraph. I used it recently, when I taught a class of Korean students preparing for the TOEIC Speaking Test. Manythings.org is also a useful website for ESL / EFL teaching. Finally, Vocaroo.com is a good tool for students to record their voices, so they can hear their pronunciation and realize what areas of pronunciation they need to improve.

Pixiclip and Vocaroo - Two really useful teaching tools, made even better when combined !

Pixiclip is a really cool and easy to use interactive whiteboard. You can upload a picture,then doodle and draw on the screen. You can also record audio or video. However, IF you are like me, and you have a "face for radio", you may want to stick with the audio, instead of video, ha ha. Vocaroo is a free on-line audio recording site. Students can record their voices and email the results to you. I recently used both tools to teach a TOEIC Speaking test prep class. Links to examples are in the slideshare, so check it out, and Enjoy !
