Download or read book Practical Word Power written by Richard Cavalier and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native speaker of English? You can tutor simplified phonetics for ESL (English as a Second Language) with this tutor's script and workbook. It was developed to enable volunteer tutors to give-back to their communities. MASTER ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION QUICKLY! There's an easier way than memorizing and imitating individual words and word lists for months or years in traditional schools! Bonus: Gain complete control of vocabulary development to personal needs. How? Using the tutor text "Practical Word Power" ("PWP"), learners master only 46 dictionary codes that exactly represent the 40 key sounds of English. Codes simplify an otherwise difficult task of endless memorization of new vocabulary in formal school classes. With "PWP," it's only 16 class hours! Only 46 "American Heritage" dictionary codes specify the 40 sounds of English: master them. Forty codes learned via "Practical Word Power" ("PWP") deliver exact pronunciation of all dictionary words. If codes are used in conjunction with the learners' bilingual dictionary, teen/adult learners can immediately speak correctly in English any word that's already known in their own native language. That's lifelong independence! Why does "PWP" work? Most schools teach via memorized, generic word lists, reflecting no teen/adult life well; they teach general rules, but rules can't work specifically for more than 1,100 variant spellings for 40 sounds. Main rule, "'I' before 'E' except after 'C'. . .except. . .except; . . .then guess!" It's easier to be wrong than right. Different publishers' codes vary, but all dictionaries that use codes are specific: every time, every word. "PWP" teaches how to use all codes. You get the foundations you need in order to pronounce words correctly when needed, not if-and-when listed in class. A research report from U-Milan regarding dyslexia challenges language complexity ("Science" March 26, '01; on author's business website). That implicitly questions the century-old Dewey-rules method used in all traditional schools. Dewey didn't have computers and brain scans at hand. Limited-English ability? No-English handicap? "PWP" works with both groups. How does the course work? "PWP" is a verbatim tutor's text/workbook. All needed instructional materials, chalkboard entries, drills, and tests are provided for the tutor. Volunteer tutors can't do it wrong! At root, tutors are only teaching the foreign-born how to sound like Americans. We have all learned from family and friends by imitating their sounds. Those sounds are captured in dictionary codes that tell the eye what the ear expects to hear. Any mix of foreign languages can be taught in a "PWP" class if taught in English, because English is the common denominator. Of course, limited-English learners must already understand basic instruction in English. In addition, speakers of any foreign language can be taught in that language by bilinguals who can read the English and speak that native language. No magic pills: learners must expect to concentrate and be prepared to do light homework in later sessions. Volunteer tutors: Do you already speak American-English? If so, you can tutor up to 10 learners simultaneously in English--in English and/or their own native languages. Communities can give-back at extremely low cost on any schedules that works for the community. If you're either mono-lingual or bilingual, are you willing to devote 16-hours (8 classes; 2-hours each) to control English pronunciation and vocabulary development? Add about 8-10 hours for preparation of the total program, the first time, only. Only 2 class hours plus quick review of the lesson plan, thereafter. "PWP" holds California's Certificate of Compliance--it's legal to teach as supplemental tex

This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the four skills of a language - listening, speaking, reading and writing, much magnitude is dedicated to writing and reading. Sporadically, a few minutes are spared to speaking and listening. It is ineluctably true that listening-speaking function plays a dynamic responsibility in verbal communication where de rigueur pronunciation is the venture for both the speaker and listener. Pronunciation is a paramount skill in any language because, successful communication possibly incomplete without proper pronunciation. In English, pronunciation is a substantial skill, it is as important as vocabulary and grammar for intelligible communication. But for ages, it has been one of the hard nuts to crack for many non-native speakers. Many learners and speakers feel that it is a very challenging skill to master.Though it was disregarded in the past, today learner's started understanding the significance of pronunciation. This attitude has emanated mainly due to globalization. English is a mandate skill and an important medium of communication in every industry and business. So, it is necessary to speak the language which is intelligible to everyone around the globe. The interlocutor comprehends the speaker not based on the words, but how effectively it is spoken. Every word is understood based on the tone or sound first than the word itself. Therefore, the tone must be appropriate for clear understanding, otherwise it may mainspring bewilderment and cause communication breakdown. Today, in this highly competitive English-speaking world, clarity in pronunciation is a demand for flawless communication. Although, English has twenty-six alphabet, it brings about forty-four phonemes (speech sounds). Every sound is personified by unique phonemic symbols; International Phonetic Alphabet. Therefore, words are pronounced based on the phonemic symbol. These symbols stand as a formula in order to pronounce words properly. So, one must learn and master the symbols and its sounds to speak perfect English. English is the universal language and everyone shares the same words, phrases and sentences to communicate each other. But when we speak to the native speakers and some ESL speakers struggle to understand us which is mainly due to the non-standard pronunciation of English words. Some of the primary and undeniable causes for this state is the lack of exposure on pronunciation skills.Most of us are not exposed to International Phonetic Alphabet starting from school till higher education. Only very few stresses the importance of proper pronunciation skills and the necessity for proper communication. Even today, majority of the English learners taught to pronounce words based on the spelling. Enough awareness on pronunciation skills is neglected to the ESL learners and speakers. This workbook is intended to enhance the ESL learners with the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols. This book will help them to master the phonetic symbols with examples. This exposure enable them to learn to pronounce English words appropriately. This book is designed for all level of learners.
