For the first website of the listening skill is www.real-english.com that is about the practice of video listening of each level. I think it is the most important skill to the learner who want to understand the conversation and the way of communication of the native speaker. This website had been started on 1 February 2010 and there is a lot of people used in the present, which has the main builder is Michael F. Marzio and his friends are the cooperative builder in this website. In my opinion, it is a good listening online website because it has the various features of listening training that is suitable for the learners all of the levels. These are the characteristic of the website that why I think this website is suitable for the learner who want to practice the listening skill which are:
1) It is the English conversation between the real people in the real situation.
2) It is categorized the level of the listening skill from the beginner to the extra level.
3) Each the video consists of the original video and the video with the subtitles.
4) The conversation have the different style such as the conversation of the older people, the African American people, and the people with the various jobs.
5) It has the exercise for the listener who want to practice the skill in each lesson.
From the feature of this website, I confidently believe that it will be beneficial to the people who want to train oneself to be an advance level of English because it comprise of the various English accents which make them know the way to speak of the people in each country, and we can take it to apply in our classroom which it may affect to their listening skill better than listening from the teacher in the classroom. Moreover, the exercise can be used in the classroom efficiently because it's about the conversation directly.
For the website that I would like to review is about the pronunciation website; it is http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/pron/. As Alex, who is the guidance of this pronunciation website had said "A good pronunciation is very very important for good communication and what do we mean by a good pronunciation, and we don't have to speak English like a native speaker, it's fine to have different accents, but what the important is able to speak clearly" In my opinion, this website is suitable for the student or the people who have learnt English pronunciation as the beginner. These are the characteristic of this website that I will review why I think it is a good website for the pronunciation practice which are:
1) It tells about the phonetic alphabet clearly.
2) Its focus on the similar pronunciation for each words thoroughly.
3) The other user can download all sections of pronunciation practice.
4) there is a quiz for whom that want to test the pronunciation skill.
Moreover, it has the features of English which consists of sound and spelling, schwa sound, connected speech, and voicing. For this feature, I think that some you may know and understand to use it for communication, but some you not, if you understand and learn to use it to speak clearly, you have to be a good at pronunciation practice.
Actually, because it's very good webpage for the people who want to pronounce correctly, so, I had used this website in teaching English pronunciation in the section of "The similar sound exercise already which found that my student have a good feedback to this practice. They can pronounce the sound and try to listen and pronouns like the native speaker which it was very useful for the students so much, and I think that if they have use this website to practice both of hearing the sound and pronounce the word oftenly, they will have a good skill of listening efficiently
