This book contains:
- Introductory remarks on pronunciation teaching, the choice of a pronunciation model, and sound production
- A description of the sounds, stress, and intonation patterns of British and American English, with special reference to problems for Swedish learners
- Study questions with key
There is a good deal of exercise material for practice of sounds, stress, and intonation. Recordings of most of the exercises are enclosed on a CD. Further exercises in the pronunciation of individual words, sentences, and text can be found in Stig Johansson - Göran Rönnerdal: English Pronunciation A Workbook.
The book is intended for Swedish university students up to the 20-point level in general, teacher training, and special purpose courses.
Please note that the book is available with British or American recordings, but the text of the two versions is identical.
