Andrea,

My advice is the following.

Try to get the audio and the transcript of the lectures, or any other
English language material that is of interest to her. Listen over and over,
and read the same material to make sure that it is understood. Save key
words and phrases that are either difficult to understand, important
concepts, useful phrases, or hard to pronounce. She study those, and read
them out loud many times to herself.

Make sure that she has an MP3 payer with here at all times, listening every
free moment or  while doing other chores.

If there is content that she likes, where she likes the voice, she should
listen up to 50 times, just to get the rhythm and flow of the language. I
believe she will improve naturally. Only when she is more confident and
comfortable should she try to record her own voice and compare, but not
until she is well along and has had a lot of exposure.

If you are working with her, let her write a few paragraphs at a time
related to her studies, no more than 300 words or so. Correct there
paragraphs and then ask her to read them out loud to herself 5-10 times, on
her own.

I hope this helps.

Steve
