Hi everyone,
As we know Internet has brought in greater flexibility for educators, especially for the language teachers.
Today I am going to focus on 5 highly useful YouTube videos to teach English pronunciations.
Here we go with the videos 🙂
Video#1: Pronunciation – several sounds/words – English Meeting ESL Lesson
It featured a focused pronunciation lesson for North American English by EnglishMeeting with Dave Sconda.
Dave says, “Pronunciation can be fun to learn and with consistent practice, you can be speaking much more clearly. A clear speaker of English has more opportunities and feels confident in life”.

Video#2:Â English Pronunciation — “It Sounds Like…”
This video teaches non-native speakers say heed, head, bite, bitten, father or hot, rough or son, through or soon, caught or bought, or pause, could or book or put, loud or south.
After making your learners speak these words, you may go ahead with some more words which are similar to the ones covered in this video.

Video#3:Â English pronunciation – past tense
This video teaches the 3 different pronunciations of the past tense -ed. If you leave off this little ending, many of your native American English speakers will seriously be lost!
Watch this video now.
Video#4:Â North American English Pronunciation – Consonants
This video takes us through the mechanics of the pronunciation of consonants. The speaker encourages the viewers to ignore the mechanics and imitate the sound. Imitation is the focus of most of my pronunciation videos.

Video#5:Â Improve Your Pronunciation with BBC Learning English
This is a complete series of videos and activities from BBC LearningEnglish to help the speakers of English improve their pronunciation.
Watch the introductory video now.
I hope you would like these videos, do let me know what you feel 🙂
See you next week with one more article in the Issue#56 of ELTWeekly.
Have a good time ahead!
