Question How to practice pronunciation in a English club

Hello everybody !
I have recently begun an English speaking club with my classmates. we have all successfully got our degree in Advanced English and have decided to go on practising the language so as to keep up to the level we have reached. I am in charge of it, but one of the problems i have to face is how to practice correct pronunciation, because we don't have any teacher to assess us.
Could you please be so kind to give me some ideas ?
I would be very grateful.
Thanks very much !
Cris

Since you're in Barcelona, you should be able to hire a native English speaker cheaply - a student or travelling worker from UK - who can come to your classes and just participate. Divided up among your members, his fee shouldn't come to much per person. Maybe advertise around the universities.
