IMPROVING ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION SKILL BY WATCHING TED TALKS AND SHADOWING ENGLISH NATIVE SPEAKERS’ SPEECHES

Abstract

This article illustrates one of the ways to improve English pronunciation skill. This technique is listening to ted talks and repeating the same text with the native speakers. By doing this, non-native speakers can not only improve their pronunciation skill, but also learn new vocabulary and meaningful natural chunks. They can also learn how to put stress on words and syllables, and to differentiate various types of intonations.
