Clear Pronunciation 2

In Clear Pronunciation 2 (Speech), students learn to put the sounds of English together in natural speech. This program helps them recognise and accurately produce word stress, sentence stress, consonant clusters, connected speech and intonation. By the end of the program, learners have a comprehensive understanding of the key features of English pronunciation.

So, how does it work? First, a teacher clearly explains and illustrates each topic in a series of videos. Learners then listen to audio clips, identify the target pronunciation feature and practise repeating it. The integrated Recorder enables users to record their voice and assess their pronunciation against a native speaker. If they want to, they can save their recordings as MP3 files, and monitor their progress over time.

Thus far the activities are very controlled. But Clear Pronunciation differs from other programs by exposing learners to the target elements of pronunciation in real-life speech. For example, learners watch a video about the 2012 Olympics and a tourism documentary, a song, and a series of 32 unscripted interviews.

Clear Pronunciation includes a wide range of speakers: male and female; young and middle-aged; English, Scottish, Australian, New Zealand, North American, Chinese, Indian. Learners are therefore exposed to the variety of accents they should expect to encounter in real life.

This program is ideal both for classwork and as a self-study resource. Enjoyable, interactive and challenging, Clear Pronunciation 2 is the perfect tool for helping your learners to recognise and produce the features of natural speech in English.
