Author: Zhou Lei
Publisher: Hubei Audio-Visual Art Press
Publish Date: 2005-01-01
Features: The five key features of this book:
1. Fully adopts the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), aligning with English teaching in China and most English dictionaries and textbooks, avoiding the unnecessary difficulties that American phonetic symbols may bring to learners.
2. Fully embodies the concept of English as an International Language (EIL), emphasizing the international standard of English pronunciation, enabling you to become familiar with the pronunciations of English-speaking countries worldwide.
3. All words are based on senior high school English proficiency, meeting the needs of more Chinese English learners.
4. Breaks through pronunciation learning by repeating words and sentence patterns, aligning with the learning habits of Chinese people.
5. Discards outdated methods of explaining pronunciation using phonetic terminology and complex diagrams of the human mouth, instead using simple language and Chinese examples to illustrate English pronunciation. Additionally, there are two more books: International Phonetic Alphabet 2 and International Phonetic Alphabet 3!
Previous phonetic textbooks were based on knowledge (cultivating knowledge), requiring learners to become phoneticians and familiar with various obscure terms such as plosive sounds, velar semivowels, affricates, and so on, before learning pronunciation. They also had to understand abstract and difficult diagrams of human oral anatomy. Based on the author's study of various phonetic training methods at home and abroad, combined with the characteristics of Chinese people, a series of exercises have been proposed. It is believed that this will bring a qualitative leap in your English pronunciation!
