ICT for Listening
Today we've come across a website, posetest.com. We can use it to help students learn the subtle differences in pronunciation. I deem this site useful as many of my students are unable to distinguish the differences between some consonants, e.g. /f/ and /th/, /b/ and /p/, etc. Procedures in the classroom: 1. Students create their own accounts using their email addresses. 2. A demonstration about how to use the website will be performed by me. 3. I will use the first section about vowels to demonstrate. 4. Students need to complete a section per week. 5. In seven weeks' time, all the sections will be completed. 6. I will use the interface for teachers to check their progress. Pronunciation has long been a big problem for students in Hong Kong. By listening to the demonstrations on the website repeatedly, they can have a better impression of the sounds in English.
