Pronunciation Power
English Computerized Learning Inc.
Pronunciation Power 1 is a wonderful program for beginning and lower
intermediate learners of English, while Pronunciation Power 2 is designed
for more advanced learners. Each user-friendly and interactive program
provides instruction, practice, and reinforcement for ESL students who
want to improve their pronunciation and listening skills. The pronunciation
lessons, which are thorough and accurate, include a speech analysis section.
This feature permits students to record their voices, then compare and
analyze their pronunciation of the target sound against the instructors’.
Students have an opportunity to improve their pronunciation through
activities that focus on stress, timing, articulation, intonation, and rhythm.
The listening discrimination exercises allow students to focus entirely on
sound without being influenced by the written form of the words.
Pronunciation Power Idioms teaches 100 idioms, using descriptions,
illustrations, and a recorded sample sentence. Interactive exercises and
quizzes reinforce students’ knowledge of idioms.
