It is, "TOEIC - Pronunciation in American English" by Kathy L. Hans. What it is, is a multi-media program that improves pronunciation skills for students and professionals at the intermediate level and above. This program provides a unique focus on how to identify and use the most important elements of pronunciation - stress intonation rhythm. It has over 68 interactive lessons & practices - All on just one CD-ROM with ten different Languages - German, French, Italian, Chinese - Simplified, Chinese - Traditional, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Portugese - Brazil, Spanish. It has video Presentations to introduce the concepts, audio Lessons to model the pronunciation, written activities to reinforce the practices, record and playback options for practice/self correction. It has a workbook - printable versions of all lessons and practices. It has options for Pre and Post assessment - audio files saved for comparison. It is also very cheap. The website address is http://insoftware.biz The website has everything you need to know on the software itself. I hope that I was able to help.
