Skills+-+Speaking

Independent Learning
Here are some the independent learning suggestions for you. You should pick 1 or 2 of these to focus on this module.
 * Improve your pronunciation using Connected Speech on an ILC computer
 * Set up a speaking group with some classmates
 * Have one hour each evening at home where you only speak English to your friends/family
 * Join an RMIT club where people speak English (eg badminton, kung fu, yoga, painting, running)
 * Record new vocabulary in a vocabulary book by writing the word, the word form, a definition in English and an example of the word being used in a sentence

Websites
This looks like a great website for practising your pronunciation. There are videos showing you how to form different sounds (shape of your mouth), pairs practice, words and conversations for you to say and record. And there are tongue twisters. All of this is done in a Canadian accent, so there will be some small differences to Australian pronunciation. []

This website lets you practice your pronunciation by repeating lines from movies or from TV shows, or from interviews with famous people. Once you practice what they are saying you can then record yourself saying the line. The computer will let you know what you did well and what you need to practice. You can keep score of how well you are doing. []
