Recenzii
Clear English Pronunciation is focused on learners of English and their individual pronunciation issues in the process of communication. The book provides essential information concerning non-articulatory pronunciation skills, prosody, consonants and vowels, phoneme contrasts, and interlocutors` skills. The author urges speakers with different cultural and linguistic backgrounds to learn to understand each other and get along equally.
Sofiya Mitsova, South West University "Neofit Rilski", Bulgaria
Dick Smakman acknowledges that all L2 speakers are from somewhere and have their own specific trajectories. He convincingly shows that this is no problem because it suffices to work on international intelligibility. Clear English Pronunciation is a very practical resource that achieves this for English speakers around the world.
Patrick Heinrich, Ca’Foscari University of Venice, Italy
Clear English Pronunciation is a must-have resource for learners of English who want to improve their pronunciation to become comprehensible and to sound natural in different social settings. The textbook helps learners better understand the underlying principles of English pronunciation through many examples as well as plenty of opportunity for individualized practice.
Natalia Edisherashvili, School XXI Century, Georgia
Clear English Pronunciation provides many examples that demonstrate what could go wrong in communication. The course seeks to create not just correct articulation, but confident and understandable pronunciation. The interactive companion website with recordings and expanded explanations supports students in practicing and finding their own pronunciation issues.
Gergana Padareva-Ilieva, South-West University "Neofit Rilski", Bulgaria
Although accent is a natural trait of diversity among speakers of world languages, it may complicate otherwise smooth cross-cultural communication involuntarily. This is a long-awaited book, instrumental in improving the pronunciation skills strongly needed for effective communication in English as a global lingua franca in the context of its vast regional variation.
