1. Clear Speech from the Start Student's book : Basic
Pronunciation and Listening Comprehension in North
American English (Clear Speech) by Judy B. Gilbert,
Paperback: 144 pages, Publisher: Cambridge University
Press
Offers a unique and creative approach to improving the
pronunciation & listening comprehension of beginning ESL/EFL
students. Like its higher-level counterpart, this new
text concentrates on teaching students to recognize and
produce those features that will make an important
difference in their ability to understand speakers of
English and be understood by them. These features
include speech sounds that carry specific grammatical
meaning, such as the plural -s and the past tense -ed
ending, as well as vowel length, syllable rhythm, word
linking, stress, and intonation. The text uses an
innovative graphics-based approach specifically designed
for beginning students. Each feature is clearly
described with a graphic icon that communicates in a
visual mode, so that complex descriptions of sound
features are unnecessary and instructions can be kept to
a minimum.
