Students also benefit from nonverbal and articulatory cues that are essential for production and pronunciation. Video Virtual Chats are available in Preparación, Gramática, and Ampliación . Pronunciation Tutorials with Speech Recognition Pronunciation tutorials allow students to engage with the material via interactive quick checks throughout each tutorial. Interactive feedback via embedded Speech Recognition gives students an opportunity to reflect on their language patterns and increases their awareness of pronunciation. SUPERSITE 2
