The 'Understanding English Pronunciation' uses an easy-to-follow format to introduce and practise the features of pronunciation that are important for intelligible communication in English.
The material is suitable for adolescent and adult learners of English as it presents learning activities and exercises through a variety of interesting topics.
Each unit examines and provides practice with a particular feature of English pronunciation, such as word stress, stress within sentences, pausing, linking and intonation.
It is recommended for private study or as a class course book for pronunciation analysis and practice. Note that answers to all activities are included in this book.
Using this book, with its accompanying audio recording, you will:
learn ways to overcome listening and pronunciation problems
hear and practise the pronunciation of new words
learn to hear the difference between the individual sounds of English in context
hear extended stretches of speech which demonstrate features of spoken language
examine the link between English spelling and pronunciation
learn to use your dictionary for independent study
feel increasing confidence as your listening and speaking skills improve.
