The next activity addresses minimal pairs. The user listens to the model then repeats and records his or her own voice. The user then plays back the model voice followed by his or her own recording. This feature is the heart of the program. The user gets immediate feedback by hearing the difference between his or her own speech and the model's.
Learners can listen to and imitate the model as many times as they want.
Users can save recordings on their hard drive or on a floppy disk, which is very useful for tracking progress. Lessons continue with sentences using the target sounds, professional vocabulary, workplace vocabulary, and extra practice, all with the same procedure for recording. The bank of words and sentences is large and comprehensive - over 5000 in total. Although the professional vocabulary targets working adults, Clear Speech Works can be used by a variety of learners in various settings, virtually anyone who wishes to improve their pronunciation. The production quality of Clear Speech Works is highly professional.
