Pronunciation Practice Book

In this pronunciation course for intermediate students of English, each unit provides intensive practice in stress and intonation of particular sound contrasts. Designed for students working alone as well as for classroom use it provides an intonation list and language chart to help students work out their particular area of difficulty and plan their programme. The intonation list explains key intonation patterns of English, and shows where they are practises.

"In writing this book, I had three aims in mind. First, I wanted to report some of the pronunciation teaching activities I have used in over 25 years of English language teaching with students of many different nationalities and levels of ability, in the hope that other teachers might find some of them interesting and useful. Most of the activities presented have been used in one form or another in the classroom with, I have judged, some success, although many have been considerably revised for publication."

This very popular pronunciation practice book is for intermediate and more advanced students of English who wish to improve their pronunciation and listening comprehension. The material can be used in class or by learners studying individually, using the cassette recordings. The practice material is illustrated by amusing cartoons throughout the book…
