TOEIC Speaking TestPronunciation Practice
T
Pronunciation is a factor in each TOEIC Speaking Test question.
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
Vocaroo.com is a FREE and easy to use
website to make audio recordings
Students recorded themselves reading this text at Vocaroo.com
The paragraph for recording was
obtained at this website:
Students then emailed me their recordings so I could make pronunciation suggestions.
This website is a wonderful tool to
hear different accents.
Students can hear speakers from all
over the world read the same
paragraph.My students are Korean, so they
were interested in the Korean
speaker section.
