Sounds English:

"Sounds English" consists of a coursebook (which is available separately) and this set of three cassettes. It aims to train students to pronounce effectively - including the accurate production of individual sounds as well as stress and intonation. Each unit starts with intensive practice in hearing and saying particular sounds, then moves on to real life contexts where stress, intonation and sounds are all involved. The course can be used in class, or by students working on their own. A special chart for 15 languages demonstrates which English sound contrasts are difficult for speakers of each language, enabling students to plan their own study programme. It is aimed at intermediate to upper-intermediate students.
