Synopsis

English for Academic Study: Pronunciation English for academic study: Pronunciation is for students who need to communicate clearly and effectively in an academic environment in the medium of English. The aim of the course is to help students develop their pronunciation in English to a level that enables the listener to understand them with ease. The course provides students with structured patterns of English that will lead them step-by-step towards this goal. During the course, students will also learn the phonemic alphabet; this will remain a useful aid to accurate pronunciation throughout their studies. Care has been taken to ensure that the vocabulary focused on in this course is relevant to both academic study and the general needs of the student. The examples and exercises are based on words from the General Service List (GSL) and the Academic Word List (AWL). The 2009 edition of EAS Pronunciation has been fully revised for ease of use. As well as a new format, the Study Book also comes with a book map, unit summaries and a comprehensive glossary of terms. A dedicated website, www.englishforacademicstudy.com, offers further teacher resources. This book can be used in conjunction with the following books in the English for academic study series, also published by Garnet Education: EAS Reading, EAS Writing, EAS Extended Writing & Research Skills, EAS Listening, EAS Speaking and EAS Vocabulary. Key Features * Pronunciation of individual sounds * Syllables and word stress * Understanding word stress patterns * Sentence stress and speaker choice * Sounds in connected speech
