Abstract
Although pronunciation skills are critical for the empowerment of English students, pronunciation fails to receive much attention in the language classroom. To address this issue, a small portion of each lesson was allocated to drilling minimal pairs and a number of extension activities using students’ cell phones. This paper will illustrate how cell phones were used to raise awareness, develop students’ self-evaluation techniques, and provide tools for personal English study.
