Description
Clear Speech from the Start gives beginning students immediate help in mastering the crucial elements of English pronunciation. The Student's Book concentrates on features that will have the most significant impact on a student's ability to understand and communicate with others such as stress, rhythm and intonation. It also focuses on speech sounds that carry specific grammatical meaning, such as the plural ?s? and the past tense ?ed? ending. The text presents these features through kinesthetic exercises and visual and auditory modeling, thus making them accessible even to beginners.
