Ok, I think it's pretty safe to say that Dictionary.com is the most popular online dictionary on the net. Heres, a way I use the app in class to help students practive pronounciation. We have our set list of vocabulary words that we use from our Real Reading 2 books. As we review them outloud, I have each student with their smartphone, ipad, or tablet verbally repeat the term in the dictionary.com searchbox using the microphone. If the term comes up correct, then they get it right. If it doesn't come up, I have them type the word in the search box and listen to the voicebox speak the word correctly. I then have them repeat the word again in the search box using the microphone until the search comes back matching the original word. This is a cool little trick that students can do in the class, or on the go!
Best,
