THE AMERICAN ACCENT GUIDE (2ND EDITION)
Second-Hand Malaysia is offering the following item for sale to serious buyers and collectors in Malaysia & beyond:
This internationally acclaimed accent reduction program is the most comprehensive of its kind. The American Accent Guide (2nd Edition)
consists of a 237-page book accompanied by nearly 8 hours of MP3 audio
on 1CD.
Lessons
addressing the entire sound system of American English introduce each of
the speech elements in a logical sequence. These elements are: the
voice and timing patterns of intonation, stress, and rhythm, and each of
the individual speech sounds. The vowels are trained early in the
course, because they are generally challenging sounds, and they are key
to mastering intonation stress and rhythm. Each consonant is practiced
in all its variations and in all contexts and all combinations with
other consonants. Focus is given to articulation at word endings,
especially those that involve grammar.
Lessons build
upon previous lessons, resulting in new skills building upon newly
trained skills. The learner gains a wealth of insights while training
entire new speech patterns. Clear and articulate male and female speech
models guide and engage the learner in a variety of interactive exercises
using everyday language that include many idioms. Lessons progress from
the word level to verbal exchanges to presentation length materials. In
addition to more fluent, articulate speech, the learner attains better
comprehension of the language as spoken, improved grammar, and better
understanding of the American culture. Now in its second
edition, this program is a complete resource for individuals who use
it for self-study as well as for accent coaches, and instructors at
colleges and universities.

AMERICAN ACCENT TRAINING - GRAMMAR
Second-Hand Malaysia is offering the following item for sale to serious buyers and collectors in Malaysia & beyond:
This book and audio compact disc program instructs students of English
as a second language in the elements of grammar, presenting a grammar
review that emphasizes speech and correct pronunciation. The compact
discs include spoken dictations for each of the book's ten chapters.
Students start by writing out what they hear, and then comparing what
they have written with the book's printed version. In the process, they
begin learning the elements of grammar, starting with the simple present
tense of the verb "to be" and progressing to all other tenses and parts
of speech. Students gradually learn how to use English words and
pronounce them properly in grammatically correct sentences. Following
each chapter's introductory sentence, they are given a brief story. A
short test at the end of each chapter helps them determine their
learning progress. The dictations start out quite simple and become
progressively more difficult from one chapter to the next. The book is
filled with charts and illustrations to facilitate students' learning
progress.

MASTERING THE AMERICAN ACCENT
Second-Hand Malaysia is offering the following item for sale to serious buyers and collectors in Malaysia & beyond:
This combination book and audio instructional program is designed to
diminish the accents of men and women who speak English as their second
language. It will help them speak standard American English with
clarity, confidence, and accuracy. Specific exercises concentrate on
vowel sounds, problematic consonants such as V, W, B, TH, and the
American R, employ correct syllable stress, link words for smoother
speech flow, use common word contractions such as won't instead of will
not, and more. Additional topics that often confuse ESL students are
also discussed and explained. They include distinguishing between casual
and formal speech, homophones (for instance, they're and there),
recognizing words with silent letters (comb, receipt, and others), and
avoiding embarrassing pronunciation mistakes, such as mixing up party
and potty. Students are familiarized with many irregular English
spelling rules and exceptions, and are shown how such irregularities can
contribute to pronunciation errors. A native language guide references
problematic accent issues of 13 different language backgrounds. Correct
lip and tongue positions for all sounds are discussed in detail.
Enclosed with the book are four compact discs that use male and female
voices to coach correct American-style pronunciation.
