Summary

Designed to reduce foreign accents that interfere with effective communication, these two programs, one concentrating on vowels and the other on consonants, include a complete treatment on each as well as diphthongs, stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns of American English. Although planned especially for Spanish speakers, the material is applicable to all non-native speakers.
-- Easy-to-use self-study program with accompanying audiocassettes. Tapes follow the written exercises and feature listen-and-repeat formats and self-tests.
-- Detailed drawings illustrate correct mouth positions for pronunciation.
-- Common phrases, sentences, and idiomatic expressions throughout the text build vocabulary and enhance English language development.
-- End-of-chapter assignments encourage correct pronunciation in daily-life situations.
