EyeSpeak for ESL Teachers

The easy way to teach English pronunciation

“At last, an English Language teaching resource with advanced audio pronunciation features”

EyeSpeak is a user-friendly and smart pronunciation software package built around the ideas of cost-efficiency and better time management. This visual pronunciation software can effectively supplement an ESL teacher’s lesson. EyeSpeak offers teachers a range of lesson plans that can be tailored to each student’s individual pronunciation problems and English conversation skills.

To use EyeSpeak to its full potential, teachers do not need any particular training. The user guide provided by VPSL and the detailed Online User Manual offers teachers sufficient knowledge about the product. However, VPSL can provide teacher-training if necessary.

ESL Teachers determine the difficulty level of each phoneme that students have to pronounce. This difficulty level is adapted to each student to suit his or her needs. During practice time, teachers can monitor individual progress and change the difficulty level for each student accordingly.

Teachers also have an opportunity to decide how many times students should repeat a phoneme before moving on to the next. Teachers are therefore able to individually monitor and follow up on each student’s progress. Quick learners have the opportunity to improve rapidly while slower students can also spend valuable time practising. EyeSpeak is versatile speech recognition software that definitely enables one-on-one teaching.

My class of elementary students benefited greatly from the EyeSpeak Pronunciation Computer Program. The visual explanation of their speaking attempts through diagrams meant they were able to retain and internalize information more effectively than just copying a teacher’s or audiotape’s exercises.

They enjoyed the fun aspect of the program and the opportunities to self-correct any mistakes. It was great to see their smiles and hear their comments when they managed to score high percentages with their speaking.

I thought the consolidation exercises that reviewed problems in their speaking was also excellent. I would recommend this program to any teacher of English language students. It has proved to be a vital teaching tool and it frees the teacher to monitor students as they practice at their own pace and focus on individual speaking areas.

EyeSpeak allows English language teachers to manage their time more efficiently. Each student is in a position to reach the desired level faster without holding back the rest of the class. This situation therefore allows for more students to be successfully taught at once. The number of pronunciation exercises attempted and the time spent on each exercise, is recorded by EyeSpeak for further reference. Teachers can use this data to refine their lesson plans or write student reports at the end of the term.

Teachers from different countries can choose or recommend a specific accent to their students who prefer practising with an accent culturally or linguistically significant to them.

EyeSpeak is an innovative pronunciation software that engages the interest of students by using interactive English conversation exercises; and motivates them to improve their pronunciation and vocabulary by providing immediate, personalised and accurate feedback. This is what makes EyeSpeak different from other English language tutorials. Feedback is provided from four different sources that complement each other very well:

1. EyeSpeak provides visual feedback to students, based on their own performance. This feedback is illustrated on a colourful graph where all the phonemes pronounced by the student are plotted. The student’s graph is compared with that of the teacher, to enhance the learning experience. The teacher’s correct pronunciation appears in a different colour, so that the students can spot the mispronounced words and learn the correct pronunciation.

2. A picture of the student’s mouth shows them how they positioned their tongue when they mispronounced a particular word. Students can compare their picture with that of their tutor to see how their tongue should have been positioned.

3. The clear, concise and systematic instructions that this audio pronunciation software offers, helps students to understand how they should move their tongue in their mouth to reach the right position and pronounce the phoneme properly.

4. A progress tracking tab shows how well students performed by giving a success rate based on each pronunciation attempt and on the overall pronunciation exercise. This written track record is a percentage which students can easily identify with to gauge their level and progress. Teachers can also use this written track record for their own record on each student’s progress.

Students can choose from among a variety of exercises to improve their English pronunciation and vocabulary. This audio pronunciation software also tests the students’ ability to identify and spell random English words during the tutorial, thereby improving their listening skills.
