Pronunciation Lessons for Adults. Vol. 6, Asian Project.
Los Angeles City Schools, CA. Div. of Career and Continuing Education.
This pronunciation text is the sixth in a seven-volume series of curriculum materials for the teaching of English as a second language to adults. The lessons are designed specifically for Asian students and Spanish speakers, focusing mainly on the English sounds that are absent in the non-English languages. The lesson sequence does not reflect a hierarchy of difficulty. The sounds are presented according to the points and manner of articulation for the consonants and the tongue position for the vowels. Each lesson presents a vowel or a consonant pair in contrast, illustrated through drill pictures and facial diagrams. The build-up exercises proceed from minimal pair drills, to phrase dills, to sentence drills, and provide practice in both listening and production. Facial diagrams and holdup pictures are provided for each drill. Optional drill exercises and sentence exchanges which permit contextual practice are included. Suggested procedures for using the lesson appear on each lesson sheet. A summary chart comparing English sounds with the sounds of Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Samoan, Tagalog, and Spanish and facial diagram showing the speech organs involved in sound production are included for reference.
