520 _a"Simple imitation is just not enough for many non-native speakers to overcome the speech patterns of their native language. Written for those who want to achieve a near-native accent, Accurate English is both a textbook and a reference guide to the pronunciation of English in North America as it is spoken by educated native speakers in fluent speech.
_bAuthor Rebecca M. Dauer's aim is to help students understand the sound system of English and, by doing so, to help them develop the self-awareness and listening comprehension needed to reduce their accents. Theory is reinforced by numerous practice exercises working up from phrases to dialogues, reading passages, and oral presentations. In addition, spelling patterns for ordinary words, academic words, and exceptions, as well as rules for stress placement, are included." (Book Cover)
