This book is very good. However, this paperback version is associated with 4 audio CDs. The book without CDs is useless. So, bear in mind that you will pay extra $35 for the audio CDs unless you can get them another way.I received the CDs and they are working fine. However, CD 4 is kind of bad. It took longer time for me to copy it.
I am lucky enough to have studied phonetics and phonology under this wonderful woman, and feel that she is quite possibly one of the few in the field with this level of expertise. Aside from having an incredibly warm personality, she is an absolute expert on English pronunciation, from segmentals to suprasegmentals. I feel that any ESL classroom or any ESL student struggling with "sounding native" or who wishes to reduce their accent would benefit greatly from this book. There is a lot of emphasis on intonation and sentence patterns, and they are presented in an easy to learn fashion without making the reader feel stupid.
It is a good book for international students or scholars whose first language is not English. Begin with Articulation and then go on with rhythm and stress in sentences. You can learn somethings that is different from you learned in your own country. Especially good for learning by oneself.
this book is used in my level 3 ESL speaking class. compared to other ESL speaking textboos, the contents seemed to be okay. I'm using another book, which is named "TARGETING PRONUNCIATION-W/5 CDS" 2ND ED by Miller. Personally this book was more helpful for me to reduce my accents, compared to Well Said. but Well Said is also okay in learning stresses and he basic essential aspects of speaking English.
If you want improve your pronunciation I suggest get audio or a video, this book have some exercises to help you pronounce better, but they are really poor, I t just say something like this word say it like this, or put your tongue like this... and you dont learn nothing from that
I feel very bad when I received the book cause it didn't work without CD. Can anyone imagine to answer questions in the book without listening to the questions in CD?
Very precise pronunciation instructions and lots of practice.
A good book. You can use the audio CD's on line for Free.
