Some helpful sites for pronunciation

http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~danhall/phonetics/sammy.html

This site shows the manner and points of articulation for sounds--referenced in IPA. Helpful for giving students a better idea of where the tongue touches inside of the mouth (as it can be quite hard to demonstrate this in class).

http://www.forvo.com/

A website where people from all over the world upload pronunciations of different words in their languages. Useful for students who want to hear how new words are pronounced; empowering for students as well because they can upload words from their own languages and disseminate knowledge.

Sorry if any of these are reposts.

Another useful pronunciation site is at http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/about.html. This is phonetics with multimedia.
