This book provides materials and procedures for intensive practice in English pronunciation, focusing on those sounds that most frequently present difficulty for foreign language students. Common intonation patterns and reduced forms are included. The format for the presentation of vowel and consonant phonemes is a unique combination of chart and sentence exercises. Ample practice material relieves the teacher of necessity of preparing supplementary exercises. A special feature is a diagnostic test to help identify each student's particular problems. The book is a product of 40+ years' experience with "English as a Second Language" or "English as a Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) students; the exercises have been extensively tested and have proved highly effective at all levels of study - elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Recordings on mp3 of the exercises will be available for use in the classroom, language laboratory, and home. Consonants, vowels, and reduced forms are dealt with in a separate section. Intonation lessons appear at intervals throughout the text; for convenient reference, they are listed as a group at the end of the Table of Contents. Phonemics symbols are used in lesson heads, sub-heads, and sound production instructions. Consonants are represented by International Phonetic Language symbols; vowel symbols are based on the Trager-Smith system.
