Features: Helps Chinese learners of English avoid a decade of detours! Completely reveals: precise pronunciation movements, linking and assimilation; how to create rich intonation, fundamentally breaking through listening barriers; how to quickly develop a sense of language, forming English thinking. An essential course to effectively overcome "Chinglish." A reference book for learning spoken English. (This book includes two VCD discs; four accompanying cassettes are available for separate purchase.)
This course completely breaks the traditional teaching model where teachers lead readings or students practice dialogues with native speakers, relying solely on imitation of pronunciation, intonation, and hoping who imitates better wins. Learning spoken English is not a mimicry show. This course strictly adheres to the fundamental principles of spoken language to explain English oral skills, teaching learners techniques to swiftly overcome spoken English barriers, including articulation, breathing, phonation, standard pronunciation movements, syllable pronunciation, linking and rhythm, stress and weak forms, scientific assimilation, creating rich intonation, language sense (English thinking, sense of communication partners, grammatical habits), psychological qualities, and public speaking skills, thereby fundamentally improving spoken and listening English.
The phonetics section of this course lifts the veil on all the secrets of English phonetics for Chinese learners who are baffled by English pronunciation. Many of the techniques taught in this course cannot be learned even in English classes at foreign language academies, and even native English speakers in the UK and US may not be aware of them. It helps solve problems that traditional spoken English or native-speaking teachers cannot address.
