This site has some good work on sound reduction, sentence stress,  and rhythm.  Not all of the exercises have active links, but most do.

 

Spoken skills—Classroom activities

http://www.spokenskills.com/student-activities.cfm

Another good site for students supplementary practice; lots of phonics, with the ability to record and listen to yourself compared to the original.  Has some tongue twisters as well.  “ESL Oscars Video clips” has clips several seconds long from the scene of a tv show; good for intonation.  There isn't a huge amount of phonetic work, and the site hasn't been updated in a while, but it has some good resources.

Language Center Pronunciation Lessons

http://lc.ust.hk/~material/pl/

Note that this site is out of Hong Kong, so there's some British focus and also a lot of Cantonese focus, but it's a good site that not only has tricky vowel and consonant practice, but also a lot of work on syllables, word stress, sentence stress, linking and rhythm.
