Clear Speech from the Start Student's Book (+ Audio CD)

Basic pronunciation and listening comprehension in North American English. Clear Speech from the Start concentrates on features that will have the most significant impact on a student's ability to understand and communicate with others. These features include rhythm, stress, intonation, and speech sounds that carry specific grammatical meaning, such as the plural 's' and the past tense 'ed' endings. The text presents these features through kinesthetic exercises and visual and auditory modeling, thus making them accessible even to beginners. Each Student's Book comes with a student audio CD that contains roughly one third of the exercises included in the class audio program.
