ACCENT ACTIVITIES for Speaking = 90-Page Student Text
Native English speakers with easy-to-understand accents (speaking styles)--may not need the information and practice offered in the 90-page pronunciation manual correlated with the Oral Skills Text, SPEAKING: Oral Language Skills for Real-Life Communication. Similarly, students that have the benefits of speech therapy, public-speaking coaching, and/or full-time tutors or pronunciation correctors/models can probably do without the ACCENT ACTIVITIES WorkText and CD material. On the other hand, other high-intermediate to advanced participants, (especially non-native language learners), may appreciate an introduction to those features of fluent American speech that are "larger than sounds," such as "The Step System of American Speech Music," "Meaning Focus," "Syllables & Syllable Stress," "Rhythm," "Thought Groups & Pausing," "Intonation," and "Sound Linking." For review and reference, the WorkText ends with brief pedagogy and activity concerning the pronunciation of speech sounds (vowels and consonants).
With practice material of the same eight kinds of speech (Social Conversation, Problem-Solving Talk, Talk About Any Subject, Conflict Resolution, Instructional Speech, Narration, Persuasion, and the Language of Debate) as the SPEAKING Text, ACCENT ACTIVITIES helps text-users recognize and master the features of useful vocabulary, phrases, and sentences that will serve them in understanding and producing connected, meaningful discourse. Its examples may even help learners to produce more interesting talk and mini-speeches of their own--hopefully, with the clearest, most effective accents possible.

(ACCENT ACTIVITIES can be used effectively with or without the available CD [ISBN 978-1-891077-29-6]. Although it can serve as an independent pronunciation manual, it might make more communicative sense to students that are also using the 102-page SPEAKING: Oral Language Skills for Real-Life Communication Text [ISBN 978-1-891077-00-5]--with or without its accompanying CD [ISBN 978-1-891077-25-8].)
