Developing a VLE to enable the innovative learning of english pronunciation

The aim of this study is to highlight the benefits of some transmissive, interactive and collaborative tools such as podcast, videocast, online questionnaires, online glossary and forum in learning English phonetics and Phonology. We present the outcomes of a quantitative study carried out during the academic year 2010/2011 at the Pontifical University of Salamanca (Spain). In this research, we have decided to select this subject because it has commonly been taught in a traditional way. This study explores the validity and benefits of an innovative technological model implemented in a blended learning group. To investigate this issue, we suggest the following hypotheses: the English phonetic and phonology learning level and the satisfaction of our students will be higher with the implementation of this technological innovative model. The VLE implemented will help them to develop their ability to perceive and produce English more accurately, and it will supply them with a natural environment for pronunciation practice. The obtained results confirm these hypotheses and show the possibilities of the model implemented to improve the teaching-learning process.
