You'll be heard the first time with this valuable new text, designed to give beginning students immediate help in mastering the crucial elements of North American English pronunciation. Like its best-selling, higher-level counterpart, this text concentrates on topics that make the biggest difference in students' ability to understand and communicate with others. Chapters cover vowel length, rhythm and intonation, linking, and speech sounds that act as grammar cues. Graphic representations throughout eliminate the need for complicated verbal descriptions. The Teacher's Guide includes reproductions of the student book pages, teacher tips, 15 photocopiable unit quizzes and an audio CD with quiz listening material, tapescripts, and answer keys.
