Product Details

The best-selling English Pronunciation in Use is a comprehensive reference and practice book suitable for self-study or classroom work.

Sixty easy-to-use units cover all aspects of pronunciation, including individual sounds, word stress, connected speech and intonation. Each unit is supported by audio material in range of accents, available on audio cassette.

An additional reference section offers a glossary of specialised terms, help with the pronunciation of numbers and geographical names and fun exercises on phonemic symbols and minimal pairs.

The audio cassettes provide a wide variety of additional interactive activities to reinforce the pronunciation covered in the book, as well as tests, progress checks, games and animated diagrams of the mouth showing learners how to produce individual sounds. Students can also record themselves and compare their pronunciation with one of the many models provided.
