Pronunciation Exercises – General English

There is a pronunciation exercise using video and text available for each unit. The vocabulary is from the Straightforward Elementary Student's Book by Lindsay Clandfield (Macmillan, 2006) .

  1. Click the link to find the exercise for that unit. The list under each link has the words for that unit. (When the video exercise opens, click on the ‘zoom in’ icon (+) on the top right of the screen to maximise the page with the words.)
  2. You can pause the video at anytime, and you can jump to different sections on the recording.
  3. You can also record and listen to your voice after viewing each lesson, by using the Vocaroo recorder. You need a microphone attached to your computer in order to record your voice. You can also download, or email an mp3 file of your voice recording.
