Accentedness, a "normal consequence of second language learning" (Derwing & Munro, 2005), is a "listener's perception of how different a speaker's accent is from that of the community". In the English writing system, many of the graphemes (letters and letter groups) have more than one possible pronunciation. Sharp marks around a letter or letters - for example /o/, /s/ or /sh/ - indicate a sound - usually at the level of the phoneme - the smallest unit of sound that is identifiable in speech.
In education, especially in the field of teaching and learning, the media is used in the classroom as a tool to help the teacher and students to achieve the goal of the teaching and learning process. Before we discuss more about the website, I will first give a brief history of the website.

One of the categories of websites is the learning site which is specially designed to help their visitors in learning a particular topic. To simplify the uses, the writer uses only one level, which suits the needs of the students of the research objective. The role of the teacher can be replaced by the existence of the media, so the student in this case will no longer need a teacher.
