Excellent pronunciation videos for EFL students provided by Stacy Hagen can be found HERE at YouTube. These videos are primarily for EFL students, but they can give you an excellent idea of how to teach the very things we have addressed on this page. Her videos are really worth watching. Stacy is one of the most skilled, practical and straight-forward EFL teachers you will ever find.
We recommend Stacy's excellent pronunciation book Sound Advantage.
