Download or read book Pronunciation Fun for ESL Students written by Christine Mandell and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pronunciation Fun for ESL Students, a pronunciation exercise book with online, downloadable audio component, (available for free at http://christinemandell.com), is intended for ESL students who are looking for an amusing and effective way to improve their American accent. The book has two sections: The first section, "Stories," consists of stories, mini-stories, and sentences that give you practice pronouncing a particular sound. Each of the sounds in American English is covered in the "Stories" section. For example, my stories "Woody, Wendy, and the Wishy-Washy Waiter," and "Whiz Quiz" will give you lots of practice with words containing the sound /W/. And my stories "Rhonda and the Rhubarb" and "Rita, Richard, and the Roaches" will give you lots of practice with words containing the sound /R/. The second section consists of "auditory discrimination" (also known as "minimal pairs") exercises, which help the student distinguish between two particular sounds. For example, the word pair "rice/lice" contains two words that differ by one sound. Practicing the "Auditory Discrimination between /R/ and /L/" exercise will help ensure that when you visit America, you will never make the mistake of going to a restaurant and ordering steamed lice! Although this book can be used by students independently, you will get the most out of it if you have a qualified ESL tutor give you a pronunciation test, initially. This will help you identify which specific sounds you should work on, so it will save you from having to slog through the whole book. Please Note: Because of the sometimes mature content of the stories in this book, some of the stories are not intended for young children to read; they are more appropriate for high school students and adults. However, some of the stories are suitable for young children, among them "Patches and Her Twitching Heart," "Marge and the Genies," "The Big Spider Fight," "The Knitting Knight and the Gnomes," "The King's Boomerang," "Floyd's Toys," "Mabel the Tattletale," "Rhonda and the Rhubarb," "Princess Nancy's Dancing Curse," "Tess and the Trombone Octet," and "Whiz Quiz." I hope you will have as much fun while using this book as I had while writing it! Best wishes, Christine (Chris) Mandell christinemandell.com

Download or read book English Pronunciation Practice written by Gunther Breaux and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a closer look go to: talk-or-walk.com Here is your co-teacher for pronunciation. We made the book, you make the copies. This book is for ESL students, from middle school to adult. Virtually all non-native speakers have trouble with certain sounds of English, primarily because they do not have those sounds in their native language. The three major problem areas are: light-right-white-night; beet-bat-bet-bit; and bat-pat-fat-vat. WHAT IS IT? 16 Battleship-type, communicative pair activities for the 16 most common ESL textbook topics. Thus, you can have a pronunciation focus with whatever unit or topic you are covering. These COORDINATE WORDS (usually about 20) feature the most difficult sounds for ESL students to distinguish and pronounce, such as: light-right; ship-sheep; pat-fat, pool-pull, gin-chin. The ANSWER WORDS (usually about 22) are vocabulary from the ESL topic, for example, FOOD: appetizer, bland, brunch, buffet, crispy, dessert, leftovers, sweet tooth, vegetarian. The similar sounding coordinate words create confusion. Clearing up that confusion improves both listening and pronouncing. It's also fun, challenging, related to the topic, and contains topic vocabulary. This book can be used every week for systematic improvement, or as a supplemental activity when time allows or when your textbook is particularly lacking.
