This book and its companion volume, Stress and Intonation, Part 2, together with Consonants and Vowels, constitute a series of three drill books in English pronunciation with the overall title Drills and Exercises in English Pronunciation. All three books are accompanied by pre-recorded tapes, and American pronunciation is exemplified throughout.
Drills and Exercises in English Pronunciation is intended for secondary school or adult students who are learning English. The material in this series is suitable for use as a special course or as a supplement to a basic language program. The drills and exercises are not graded as to difficulty; depending on need, they can be assigned for work at elementary, intermediate, or advanced levels of proficiency. The contents of the three books are so organized that the teacher (or the student pursuing an independent course of study) has convenient access to specific problem areas encountered in the English sound system.
