Abstract

There has been increasing interest in pronunciation teaching and learning in parallel with recent developments in technology. Thanks to these developments, we have witnessed a number of applications and websites focusing on pronunciation. As Levis (2007) stated, computers can be utilized for individualized instruction, frequent practice through listening discrimination and focused repetition exercises, and automatic visual support. In this respect, YouGlish, a website which relies on YouTube videos to present target vocabulary through videos from a variety of genres, offers an invaluable resource for English language learners (ELLs) to improve their pronunciation.
