Great Book

I purchased this book for my brother-in-law and he loves 'cause it's so easy to use.

This a great step-by-step approach to pronunciation

I am a workplace English instructor and find Targeting Pronunciation and the audiocassette package of to be very useful in business settings as well as the classroom as a tool for teaching more effective presentation skills. It has a fun and clear approach to covering all the essential pronunciation features such as word stress, rhythm patterns, and thought groups, as well as consonant and vowel sounds. Students enjoy using this book and tapes because of the engaging and varied activities. Whether you are experienced or inexperienced at teaching pronunciation, Targeting Pronunciation a great book to teach from. I recommend the book and audiocassette package: ISBN 0-395-94540-2. It's the best deal and each student has a set of tapes for home practice.

Caution!

This is a really good book, but be careful. Don't buy the $33 version of this book (ISBN 0-395-90331-9). It ONLY includes the Book. Buy the $42 version of this book (ISBN 0-395-94540-2). That is the Package Edition, and includes both the Book and the Audiocassettes.

Sue Miller is specifc and detailed

We've been working on a lot of material on voice and accent for Indian Call Centers dealing with the American market.This appears to be the best book I have come across.It is very detailed and easy to understand and beats the current book and CD offerings like American Accent training.A definite must buy if you are into accent reduction for individuals or training.Ian Stern Holistic Enterprise
