505 _a"Targeting Pronunciation provides intermediate and advanced ESL students with a comprehensive program and the tools they need to communicate effectively in English. It makes pronunciation easy to teach and fun to learn through engaging activities and a communicative, interactive approach. Students build independence by refining their listening and self-monitoring skills. They gain confidence as they watch their progress and target the improvement of their suprasegmentals - stress, intonation, and speech rhythm - as well as their segmental sounds - consonants and vowels" (Book cover).
