Phonetics and Phonology

This course is based on the idea that a person learns to speak a foreign language by practicing it. This book has been designed to encourage students to be as active possible in various kinds of situations. The pronunciation exercises may be not contain much that will be new to any one already familiar with the teaching of pronunciation. They have, however, been carefully designed to give a great deal of practice with each item in the syllabus, proceeding in a step-by-step manner. The teacher will need to act as a model, and monitor students’ performance carefully. But in a given period of time devoted to pronunciation, the student would be expected to be speaking at least as much as the teacher.
