My goal was to find free resources to help Japanese students improve their pronunciation of English. I entered “phonetic English student teacher free website” and found this helpful website: [|www.btinternet.com/~ted.power/11japanese.html]. I came to a page that listed a copiable nine-page list of phonetic sounds which would be helpful for the Japanese students to practice improving their pronunciation of English. There are also links to many of his other pages, including “songs for phonology”: [|www.btinternet.com/~ted.power/folkphono.html] and one focusing on “minimal pairs” which would be great for helping the students to discriminate between slight differences in vowel sounds: [|www.btinternet.com/~ted.power/phonominimal.html].

Idea- Teresa Venton Hi Elaine, The internet is a wide open tool with many websites to choose from. Teachers can provide websites for students to log in and practice as well as having students find their own websites depending on their level of expertise. I like how one of the articles I read talked about using the computer as a remediation tool. I think some of the websites you talked about would be good for practice as well as maybe if some students were behind, maybe it would give them a different way to understand.
