Review of Englishspeak.com

The name of the website is englishspeak.com

This website is actually to support speaking skill. It provides most common words, phrases and conversation which are often used. It provides the audio form and the script as well, so the reader can use it effectively. Teacher can use this website to teach students how to pronounce the words properly. He or she can also show students how the native speakers speak. Students can use this website as well. They can improve their speaking ability by practicing the conversation. They will be able to improve their listening skill since they will hear first before they practice the conversation.

I think this website is quite good to teach speaking. It provides the audio of the words, phrases and conversation so it will enable students to learn pronunciation, intonation and stress in the same time. So the teacher doesn’t need to look for different material to teach those aspects since it is already provided in this website.

My suggestion for this website, since in my place, where I live, the internet connection is still difficult to find, it will be better if this website provide a software which has the same content as those in the website. Then, for the administrator, please improve the content of the website. Add more conversation. Sometime in the future, if the content is still the same, it is possible that the website will be abandoned. You may also add more different content, such as material for reading, writing and listening.
