This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering the American Accent is an easy-to-follow approach for reducing the accent of non-native speakers of English. Well-sequenced lessons in the book correspond over eight hours of audio files covering the entire text. The audio program provides clear models (both male and female) to help coach a standard American accent. The program is designed to help users speak Standard American English with clarity, confidence, and accuracy. The many exercises in the book concentrate on topics such as vowel sounds, problematic consonants such as V, W, TH, the American R and T and others. Correct lip and tongue positions for all sounds are discussed in detail. Beyond the production of sounds, the program provides detailed instruction in prosodic elements such as syllable stress, emphasis, intonation, linking words for smoother speech flow, common word contractions, and much more. Additional topics that often confuse ESL students are also discussed and explained. They include distinguishing between casual and formal speech, homophones (e.g., they're and there), recognizing words with silent letters (e.g., comb, receipt), and avoiding embarrassing pronunciation mistakes, such as mixing up "pull" and "pool." Students are familiarized with many irregular English spelling rules and exceptions, and are shown how such irregularities can contribute to pronunciation errors. A native language guide references problematic accent issues for 13 different language backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judul : Introducing Pronunciation Drills (IPD) Penulis : Dedy Suhery,M.S.Ph.D, Dr. Mohd Hamid Raza, Zahratul Idami Ukuran : 15,5 x 23 cm Tebal : 104 Halaman Cover : Soft Cover No. QRCBN: 62-2066-8007-473 SINOPSIS The synopsis of the present work is related to the pronunciation of speech sounds and how to use the phonetic alphabet to understand the word format in a particular language. Today, non-native English learners often seek clarification on pronouncing specific words due to a lack of awareness of phonetics. They need to grasp the parameters of speech sounds as they appear in the beginning, medial, and final positions of words. In this book, the writers provide a clear vision of English vowels and consonants, highlighting their usage in different contexts with varying word pronunciations. Apart from the classification of English vowels and consonants, the writers also represented the phenomena of the ‘silent letters’ that occurred in the different positions of the words. It is determined that non-native English speakers need to gain more knowledge to identify the silent letters in the words. Most of the time, it is generalized that they have pronounced the silent letters of the words during the communication. In this book, the data were given to find out the different types of silent letters they use regularly due to a need for knowledge of English. With data analysis regarding the silent letters, the writers transcribed the words correctly and showed the learners how to pronounce them. In addition to the above features, the writers also mentioned the process of the phonological conditioning of the allomorphs in the English language. It defined the parameters of the speech sounds that cannot occur in a specific environment to change the meaning of the words. It appeared in the ‘complementary distribution’ process, which means one occurs, but the second cannot be in the same environment in the English language. It is applied in both forms of words, such as number (singular vs. plural) and verb (past tense). The research found that non-native English speakers need to be made aware of the phonological conditioning of the allomorphs. So, they used it as ‘contrastive distribution,’ not in ‘complementary distribution’ to change the sense of a pair of tokens in English. In this book, the writers explain the conditioning of speech sounds very clearly so that they can be used in different contexts or environments. All these processes can be seen in the book clearly with the facts of the data.
