Tapes follow the written exercises and feature listen-and-repeat formats and self-tests.-- Detailed drawings illustrate correct mouth positions for pronunciation.-- Common phrases, sentences, and idiomatic expressions throughout the text build vocabulary and enhance English language development.-- End-of-chapter assignments encourage correct pronunciation in daily-life situations.Lillian Poms is the author of 'English Pronunciation for Spanish Speakers: Consonants', published 1986 under ISBN 9780132813044 and ISBN 0132813041.
