The phonetics course is designed for those who, irrespective of their initial level of knowledge, want to understand the English speech and master English pronunciation (so-called BBC variant, which is the norm of speech on the English radio and television). All sections of phonetics have been recorded with the voice of William Shephard, who was a long time coordinator at UCLES.
A student can compare their pronunciation with the model not only using their hearing but also visually seeing the graphical speech representation
A Little Encyclopaedia of Phonetics
This book is aimed at first-year students of Phonetics. It is based on a book I wrote which was published in 1992. The book, which had the title
Introducing Phonetics, has now been deleted from the publisher's list. The title was misleading: this is not an introduction to Phonetics but a series of short explanations of technical terms used in the subject. I have, in fact, written what I hope is a truly introductory textbook on Phonetics for Oxford University Press in the series
Oxford Introductions to Language Study, edited by Henry Widdowson, which was published in 2001. Its title is
Phonetics.
