Level: Elementary to Intermediate |
Perhaps more than any other language
skill, pronunciation is heavily influenced by students’
native language. With this in mind, Speaking Well focuses
on the areas Japanese speakers find most challenging:
- Consonants and vowels: Includes facial diagrams,
ear training exercises, and speaking practice for
the sounds Japanese speakers find most difficult.
- Rhythm: Provides both listening and speaking practice
with the wave-like rhythm of English.
- Main stress and intonation: Simple rules, not offered
in any other textbook for beginners, show students
which words to stress in a phrase. Also covers intonation
in questions, statements, and lists.
By offering precise guidelines, Speaking
Well enables students to listen to themselves critically
and self-correct, thereby becoming their own teacher.
