English File Pronunciation App [Review]

---

Abstract

English File Pronunciation (EFP) is a software application (app) (2012) published by Oxford University Press. The EFP app is intended for use on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets via Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android operating systems. The app will cost consumers USD $5.99 on both Apple’s app store and Google Play for the Android version. For this review, the iPad version of the EFP app was used. The EFP app is marketed as supplementary content to Oxford’s English File Student’s Book 3rd edition (Oxemdem & Latham-Koenig, 2015), and content from the app should be familiar to those who use the textbooks. The app is designed to give users a method to “Practise sounds, words and sentences” as the app’s tagline declares: “The app that gets you talking”. Oxford attempts to entice consumers by claiming that users will “see your communication and pronunciation improve with the unique English File Sounds Chart.”
