Better English Pronunciation (clpe) : 1b2c

This is the second edition of a highly successful and widely-used text on pronunciation. It provides a systematic and thorough introduction to the pronunciation of English to help intermediate and more advanced students improve their production of the spoken language. After a short introduction to pronunciation problems the author explains how the speech organs work; he then deals with each sound separately before dealing with words in combination, rhythm-patterns and intonation. Practice materials is given at intervals throughout the book. The particular difficulties of the speakers of certain other languages are noted, including Hindi and Arabic, and remedial exercises provided. A recording of all the practice material in the book is available on cassette.
