IPA Transcription Practice

IPA Transcription Practice is a collection of worksheets containing phonetic transcription exercises for university students of Descriptive Grammar, Linguistics and Phonetics courses. Units in the book are devoted to specific phonemes and contrasts between them. The design of IPA Transcription Practice exercises helps observe regularities in spelling-pronunciation correspondences as well as exceptional or unexpected pronunciations of common English words. Use of pronunciation dictionaries is advised while completing each unit. The main focus is on mastering the transcription of vowel sounds in individual words, but the worksheets also contain exercises designed to practice utterances in connected speech.
