Beschreibung
This manual takes EFL students on a guided journey to develop mastery of English pronunciation. It explores systematic rules as well as irregularities in the pronunciation of English letters, digraphs, common affixes, and morphemes, and introduces the IPA phonetic symbols for vowels and consonants and their realization both as independent sounds and in different word positions. It also provides a comprehensive phonetic description of English vowels and consonants, highlights key pronunciation differences between British and American accents, and examines pronunciation rules and processes that govern connected speech. Suprasegmental features – such as intonation, pitch, syllablification, and stress rules – are subsequently introduced to help students pronounce words and sentences with greater accuracy and naturalness. These pronunciation aspects are reinforced through student-centered practical exercises in every section and chapter, as well as assessment tests at the end of the manual. This structure helps students evaluate their understanding progressively and holistically. Accordingly, this manual can serve as an effective practical teaching and learning resource for EFL spoken English courses, especially as it gradually guides and supports students in developing their speaking competence from beginner to a level approximating native-like proficiency.
