PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Before Speaking = 84-Page Student Text

The lengthy subtitle of PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Before Speaking is High-Beginning to Intermediate Instruction & Activities in Vowel & Consonant Sounds, Syllables, Stress, Rhythm, and Other Features of Clear American Accent.  To practice the productive features of clear   speech, WorkText users--most likely non-native speakers of English--read explanations, do individual and paired activities that incorporate effective feedback, check their answers, and improve the comprehensibility of their accents step by step. 

In a Getting Started Introduction, participants "Greet People by Name" as they get acquainted with Symbols for Sounds, Alphabet Letters, Numbers, and Pronunciation Terms.  Part One, in which text-users get to "Talk About Things," covers the pronunciation and spelling of Vowel Sounds (Simple, Complex, and All).  Because learners need to say the words they know in context as they Talk About Places," Part Two addresses the concepts of Syllables, Stress, Focus, & Rhythm.  Finally, students learn about and practice Consonant Sounds and Features of Fluent Speech (Sound Linking, Pausing, & Intonation) in Part Three, which gives them plenty of opportunity to learn about others and express themselves as they "Talk About People."    

Neatly coordinated with the content  of BEFORE SPEAKING: Activities for Practice & Preparation in Oral Language Skills,  the practice material of PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE: 
High-Beginning to Intermediate Instruction & Activities in Vowel & Consonant Sounds, Syllables, Stress, Rhythm, and Other Features of Clear American Accent  makes the manual an ideal supplement to the Oral-Skills TextEven so, either WorkText can be used independently of the other.
