Riassunto

Clear Speech, Second Edition, is a highly successful and innovative pronunciation course for intermediate and advanced students of English. The Student's Book emphasizes those aspects of English pronunciation that contribute most to intelligibility: rhythm, stress, and intonation. In addition, it teaches students to focus their attention on individual speech sounds that carry important grammatical meaning, such as the verb-final “d” that signals the past tense, and the noun-final “s” that signals plural. Students learn to use all these features to provide “navigational guides” for the listener. The focus on the relationship between speaking and listening comprehension makes this text uniquely helpful. Clear Speech is suitable as a classroom text, for laboratory use, and for self-study.

Recensione:

'I would like to take this opportunity to express my excitement over the book "Clear Speech." Rarely, do I find a book that deals expressly with aural and oral skills. This little book is huge in its delivery of those skills. I am truly impressed!' Irene K. Tron, Marion City Schools USA
