No-Prep English Pronunciation for Adult ESL Students - IPA Video Flashcards for the /v/ Sound

Watch the Preview

As a student of English, do you ever feel overwhelmed or frustrated trying to figure out how to pronounce a word in English, especially since there are so many sound change rules and exceptions to remember?

As a teacher of English, do you feel that you just don’t have the tools or skills to help you teach your students how to reproduce the sounds of English accurately, in a way that makes sense to them? Or, perhaps, you’ve tried everything to help certain students who are having difficulty and nothing seems to work.

Would you like a fresh perspective on English pronunciation?
My new English pronunciation video series, Visual Vocabulary: Video Pronunciation Cards for the Sounds of English, was developed with you in mind.

The series will cover all of the sounds of English as noted in the International Phonemic Alphabet (IPA). To start things off, we’re tackling the sound of /v/. This is a particularly difficult sound for speakers of languages that don't have the sound. For Spanish-speakers it is more-so because the most common letter that makes this sound in English is the letter "v", which in Spanish, is pronounced as an English "b" or the /b/ sound.

Each set in this series consists of:

📚 a word list developed specifically for practice of the featured sound. Each word list has approximately 30 words that feature the sound in various places within the word for the most varied English pronunciation practice;

📚 a short video with the main, American English pronunciation of the word and possible variants, plus an explanation of the mouth mechanics of the sound so that you will understand how the sound is made and what you need to do to be able to replicate the sound;

📚 a load of tips on the obstacles you may encounter and how to either avoid these obstacles or to conquer them if you have gotten stuck in them;

📚 tips and information about the words themselves and their relation to similar words
an image that explains the meaning of the word, and;

📚 the written word so that you can see how it will look when you see it in print and so that you can recognize the various letter combinations that the different sounds of English make.

Each word list/sound set will include:

🎥 The complete set in one, 30-minute (+/-) video that introduces the sound and its pronunciation,

the focus of the list,

🎥 and a word-by-word walk-through of the list (with plenty of time for practice).

🎥 Individual video cards of all the words on the list to use for specific issues in pronunciation, to isolate practice for specific students with particular trouble spots, as a randomized challenge, or to re-group the words from the lists in other ways that suit your or your class’s needs.

[PLEASE NOTE: because of uploading constraints, Once you make your purchase, I will e-mail you the Google Drive link for the individual videos.]

30-Day Challenge Club for Better Fluency in English

A community of ESL teachers of adults looking to help their students develop life-long habits of fluency through monthly challenges.

Welcome video

The one thing my students repeatedly mention to me is that they are afraid to speak English outside of the classroom because they do not understand how to approach English-speakers in different situations. That's why I created this monthly challenge club - so that students would have a way to step out into the world of English-speakers with a guiding hand to help them along the way.

🗹 Each month a new 30-Day challenge is released (including all the resources needed to complete the challenges). 🗹 These challenges are designed to present students with a real-life speaking exercise that they complete through daily tasks that teach them how to research, plan, and prepare for a specific type of English-speaking interaction, then to follow through and complete the challenge. 🗹 As teachers, we meet once a month prior to the challenge release to go over the challenge, its purpose and goals, and suggesed teaching strategies. 🗹 Additionally, we meet at the end of the challenge to talk about how it went - if any struggles occured, what successes your students had, how you felt about teaching it, and to answer any questions you have. 🗹 Each member has the opportunity to be entered into a monthly prize drawing for a $10 off coupon on your next purchase from @CE Educational Resources. 🗹 For those who choose the annual payment option, I'll hold weekly office hours to give you that bit of extra help and guidance throughout the month.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this community for?

This community is for English as a Second Language teachers of adults who want to help their students take what they learn in class and use it effectively in whatever English-based culture they find themselves. This community is for you if you are not satisfied with simply churning out students who are proficient in English. You want to give your students the tools they need to transform their proficiency in the English language into fluency in the language of English-speaking cultures.

What do I get every month?

>>> Each month, you get a new 30-day challenge and all the resources needed to complete the challenge (including instructions and teaching suggestions).
>>> You also get 2 live coaching calls - one before the challenge begins (to make sure you are familiar with the teaching point, goals, teaching approaches, and to get your questions answered), and one after the challenge ends (to share your successes, struggles, suggestions, and to answer your questions).
>>> A chance each month to win a $10 coupon that you can use at @CE Educational Resources
>>> Annual subscribers get access to weekly office hours with me to help keep you on track, answer your questions, and support you through the challenge.

When does the community meet on Zoom?

Yes. The twice-monthly calls and the weekly office hours (for annual subscribers) are all held on Zoom. There may be times when we meet via Google Meet but you will be notified beforehand.

Where does the community happen?

The community is a private site only for subscribers of the 30-Day Challenge Club. You will be given all the access information after you subscribe.

Why should I join?

Your adult ESL students count on you to prepare them to be able to communicate effectively in English on the job and in the wider English-speaking worlds in which they find themselves. As ESL teachers, we don't always know everything and we often get stuck in knowing how to teach certain aspects of English or if we're on the right track in our teaching method. As teachers, in general, we don't always have the time to develop lessons or activities for our students (and finding intelligent resources that respect our adult students truly is a challenge of its own).

By joining the 30-Day Challenge Club for English Fluency Success, you not only save time, reduce your stress, and gain confidence in your lessons, but you also join a family of like-minded ESL teachers of adults who are looking to connect with you for mutual support. My goal for this community is for it to be the Go-To place for ESL teachers of adults to connect, share, support, and encourage each other in this highly-satisfying field of helping others create a new life for themselves and others through the act of learning a new language.

How do I cancel if it’s not for me?

You can cancel anytime in your TeacherStore customer account. You’ll keep your access until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and you won’t be charged after that.

Hello, I’m Cathleen. I am a writer, editor, and 44-year Corporate Client Relations veteran with experience teaching in the classroom, in the boardroom, and in volunteer positions teaching English, horseback riding as therapy, as well as figure skating to children and adults. I am also a multi-certified TEFL/TESOL instructor and a TEFL/TESOL Diploma candidate.

My love of teaching began when I was eleven and would help my nursery school teachers on my afternoons off during Curriculum Days. From there I volunteered as noted above throughout middle school, high school, and college. During my corporate years, I taught a multitude of topics in various capacities and on various levels of formality. As an editor, I work 1-on-1 with authors (specializing in non-native-English-speakers), teaching the finer points of the English language that make or break the finished product.

Currently, I am teaching English to adults, as well as for companies offering language learning to their employees.
