Description
“How do you pronounce and use…” combines YouTube’s real life situations with a web dictionary to achieve dynamic language learning. Users can search for a word and not only access conventional audio pronunciations but also time-stamped videos of real people in real situations speaking and using the word. Research suggests that the videos could also help teach a word’s pronunciation more effectively by showing the facial gestures needed to produce it and illustrating how it is naturally pronounced with other words, not just in isolation.
