 English & French Language Resources: Carl Storz Sounds & Stress: a practical, didactical approach, Pronunciation
In order to help students realize the importance of pronunciation and where their particular problems lie, I thought it would be a good idea to encourage students to take on the responsibility of noting down, organizing and categorizing their OWN errors once corrected in any-in-class oral activities so that they can practice out of class.
Besides grammar and lexis, pronunciation is another important aspect that needs to be learned and treated systematically until the learner is familiar with the system enough to be able to have a clear pronunciation.
Since the objective is to improve pronunciation through semi-autonomous work, it would be idea to have an audio or video recording of the words that students have noted to serve as an example of correct pronunciation.

 American Accent Training - Pronunciation
Spelling doesn't help identify it, because it can appear as any one of the vowels, or a combination of them.
By comparison, the silent E at the end of a word is a signal for pronunciation, but it is not pronounced itself: code is [kod].
Whenever you find a vowel that can be crossed out and its absence wouldn't change the pronunciation of the word, you have probably found a schwa: photography [f'tägr'fee] (the two apostrophes show the location of the neutral vowel sounds).

 Overview of the Spanish Language to Help You Learn Spanish
Spanish is the most widely spoken Romance language in terms of the number of speakers and the number of countries which claim Spanish as the official language.
Spanish is also spoken in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, communities in the United States of America, and parts of the west coast of Africa.
Much of Spanish vocabulary stems from Latin, which was introduced to the Iberian peninsula in the 3rd century during the Roman conquest as a dialect, Castilian.

 Untitled Document
Between these opposing views, Stern (1992: 112) says: 'There is no convincing empirical evidence that could help us sort out the various positions on the merits of pronunciation training'.
Of course, the notion of "correctness" with regard to pronunciation is not tantamount to adherence to "native speaker" norms or Received Pronunciation (RP) rules.
What should be drawn to our attention is that, in the process of communication, pronunciation (of both segmental and suprasegmental (prosodic) elements) is of paramount importance, since successful communication cannot take place without correct pronunciation (Celce-Murcia, Brinton and Goodwin, 1996)-poorly pronounced segments and suprasegments may have the result of disorienting the listener and inhibiting comprehension.
