Pronouncing American English Book & CD
Ideal for a complete course or as a pronunciation supplement, this vibrant book features extensive communication and pair work activities, guiding intermediate to advanced students in their development of clear speech and appropriate intonation.
The workbook-size text is divided into four parts, covering the sounds of American English, problems encountered with American spelling as opposed to sounds, the use of a phonetic alphabet, syllable stress, vowel and consonant length, content words and function words, intonation, and using a dictionary. The units can be done in any order and include auditory discrimination exercises, Check Your Listening, and Practicing the Contrasts. The answers are in the teacher’s manual.
Review:
“I have found this book very clear and easy to follow by anyone wishing to improve his English pronunciation. The examples and exercises are excellent, specially the contrast ones. The explanations and practices about stress and intonation are very useful and easy to understand. This book was given to me without the tapes which I have not been able to get. I am sure that these tapes are a necessary complement to this book.”
