The American English Pronunciation Card (with Audio CD)

By: Michael Berman

Product Description

This compact overview of American English pronunciation lets students work on discrete pronunciation issues quickly and easily. The Card includes treatments of the vowels, the consonants, word-level stress, and sentence-level stress. It also helps students with troublesome contrasts and other special issues such as -s and -ed endings. In addition, the Card features... A CORPUS-BASED APPROACH: Every example word in the Card is a high frequency word taken from respected corpora (general and academic). This means that the content of the Card is more meaningful and effective, and that it doubles as a vocabulary building tool. In addition, instructional language is user-friendly, without unnecessary linguistic jargon. A BEAUTIFUL FULL-COLOR FORMAT: Each targeted sound pops from the page with bold red print. The illustrations are clear, vivid, and engaging. DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: The Card is printed on heavy stock paper and covered with a thick laminate. This sturdy accordion-style folding card is 4.125 inches wide by 10.5 inches high folded, and unfolds to 24.75 inches wide. A FULL-LENGTH AUDIO CD: The CD provides all the essential modeling for recognition and repetition. Each of the 43 tracks corresponds to a section in the Card.
