ABSTRACT

This chapter examines, three main aspects of how the multimedia can be used for EIL pronunciation practice, namely through the use of songs, via computer technology including software applications and the Internet, and by tapping into the advances of mobile technologies. Advances in interactive digital media (IDM) audio and visual technology over the last few decades have undoubtedly revolutionised the way people have access to music. Teaching suprasegmental features through songs may also involve listening, singing and acting, and is less straightforward. According to the definition from the Encyclopedia Britannica website, a podcast is a radio-style program, usually in the MP3 digital format, disseminated over the Internet that includes a system for subscribing to it on a World Wide Web page in such a manner that future programs are automatically downloaded. The accent demonstrations can be used as materials for awareness-raising activities that familiarise EIL learners with different varieties of English.
