• Studies on the sound system currently emphasize the importance of suprasegmental features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Many researchers argue that because of their major role in communication, these features merit greater priority than attention to individual sounds in the curriculum. This doesn't mean, of course, that work on individual vowels and consonants is irrelevant, but these features should not be the starting point or the pedagogical focus when learning another language. Yet, the traditional approach to teaching English pronunciation gives priority to individuals sounds, and teachers and texts have devoted the majority of time and effort to English vowels first, then the detailed coverage of the vowel chat and diphthongs followed by work on consonants. As this segmental work takes up most of time available, only brief attention to the prosodic features of English is paid. Since it was hard to find a textbook starting with prosodic features, I created an original website for practicing English pronunciation with the financial support of my university in 2003. This paper explains the main features of site, reports on its actual use in class, and examines the effect the software has on developing the prosodic features improving the accuracy of individual English sounds of my students. Reference is made to the computerized sound analysis that gauged whether there had been any improvement in the prosodic skills of the student after practicing English pronunciation with the site.
