The aim of this study is to improve English pronunciation in the university
classroom of first-year Medicine students through the use of OERs.
Technologies such as Voki or LEO network are used in the practical sessions
of the English for Health Sciences module. Voki platform allows learners to
practise and improve their fluency and spoken skills in the target language.
LEO network was also used to allow students to exercise and check their
pronunciation performance with the tool ‘Learn English through dictation’.
Two surveys addressed to students tried to delve into their level of English
pronunciation and the importance given to this ability up to now. We aimed
at knowing how much the students were exposed to pronunciation training
before entering university and whether this training was presented through
the use of new technologies. First-year Medicine students seemed motivated
to the improvement and learning of pronunciation techniques through the use
of OERs. A final questionnaire revealed that, although the teaching proposal
with the use of computer tools was rewarding, not all of them seemed so fond
of new technologies as expected. [-]
