“Did you say you came to Canada by sheep or ship?”
Clear pronunciation does makes a difference. This resource book is not for self-help; it requires a teacher’s diagnosis of pronunciation problems, and use by a teacher with accurate pronunciation. Each unit has illustrated examples and four kinds of exercises.
Exercise A develops aural discrimination of the two targeted phonemes.
Exercise B, based on the illustrations, requires the student to decide which phoneme is being used in context.
Exercise C uses several phonemes.
Exercise D is a literacy exercise which requires students to listen to sentence pairs and chose the correct answer. The exercises are meant to supplement a variety of suprasegmental teaching techniques.
There are 72 units in all:
• 32 vowel units
• 40 consonant units
