Clear Speech: Pronunciation and Listening Comprehension in North American English--Student's Book

by Judy B. Gilbert

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.
