Pronunciation Animations from Cambridge University Press provides students with visual and audio lessons for learning to speak English. On Pronunciation Animations students can see and hear which sounds and syllables to stress in English words. The site is divided into four categories; sounds, stress, intonation, and phonemic chart. Students have a choice of listening to a female voice or a male voice for most of the words and sounds on Pronunciation Animations.
Applications for Education
Pronunciation Animations could be a great resource for ESL/ EFL students. The visual and audio segments could be used as model for a teacher-led lesson or be used as individual study resources.

I was just made aware of a free online pronunciation tool that allows students to hear a sound in English and see an animated flash video of how to produce the sound. There's also a video of a human mouth pronouncing the sound, along with a record feature that allows students to record themselves saying the sound, which they can then compare with the native English speaker's pronunciation. There is also a feature that allows students to watch a video of how to correctly write each uppercase and lowercase letter of the alphabet. I just blogged about it here: http://www.esltrail.com/2010/09/free-online-pronunciation-tool.html. The link to the free online pronunciation tool can be accessed here: http://info.readinghorizons.com/pronunciation-tool/.
