Useful Sites for English Pronunciation
|
Hi everyone,
Just thought I �d repost a few links to some of my favourite English �sound sites �.
Maybe it�s because of a little linguistics study but I feel
that there are many ways to pronounce English correctly - it all depends
on where you�re from & who you learned English from.
Here
are some really good sites with sound files that can be listened to or
downloaded if you want some examples for yourself or your students!
Eva Easton�s Authentic American Pronunciation (uses RealPlayer & Flash)
TalkBank - so much here to explore!
Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE)
- this link takes you to the story of �Arthur the Rat�, a downloadable
sound file & a transcript (on the page) of a story read by 10-
different Americans. I used this with my Junior High School students to
share some accent variations with them!
English Speakers Around the World - a collection of some great audio files. It includes �Arthur the Rat� by more than just Americans!
Sounds Familiar - a wonderful collection from the British Library and very user friendly! This is another site I introduced to my students.
English Pronunciation Tip of the Day - a useful site with a lot of tips in the archive.
Strine
- an interesting site about Australia. It has some great info on
cultural differences too! Explore the site if you�re interested in
Australia. One word of warning though - the authors make a lot of
generalisations, so always look for a second opinion (i.e. don�t use
this as your only source of information!) if you�re going to study
Australia in your class!
World English - just click a flag to hear a sample. There are also a lot of other interesting links here too!
Well,
that�s just a few to get the ball rolling.
Take care everyone! AB
