About this book
English Pronunciation in Use Advanced
gives students of English practice in pronunciation to
help improve both speaking and listening. Although it has been written so that it can be used for
self-study, it will work equally well in a class situation with a teacher.
It will be particularly useful for students whose English is adequate for most social, professional
or educational purposes, but who want to work further on pronunciation to improve their
understanding and ensure that they are easily understood both by native and non-native English
speakers. The focus is primarily on improving pronunciation in communication rather than
practising individual sounds ' or words.
Organisation
There are 60 units in the book. Each unit looks at a different .p oint ofpronunciation. Each unit
has two pages. The page on the let has explanations and examples, and the page on the right
has exercises. The 60 units are divided into four sections.
•
Section A introduces accents in different varieties of English, resources for independent study
of pronunciation and diferences between pronunciation in slow and fast speech.
•
Section B is about pronunciation in words and phrases, including consonant clusters and
stressed and unstressed syllables, and pronunciation of foreign words.
•
Section C is about pronunciation in conversation, including how intonation contributes to
meanmg.
•
Section D is about pronunciation in formal settings, including professional contexts such as
giving business or conference presentations.
Ater the 60 units there is a ifth section, Section E, which contains the following:
•
Exercises to practise the phonemic alphabet
Further practice of consonant clusters
•
•
Further practice of word stress
•
Glossary
Further reading
At the end of the book there is a Key with answers.
To accompany the book, there is a set of ive CDs, available separately or as part of a pack.
•
A CD-ROM is also available for use on a computer. On the CD-ROM additional practice
exercises are provided on all of the units (different from those in the book). The CD-ROM can
be bought separately or as part of a pack.
Additional equipment needed
A CD player is needed to listen to the recorded material that goes with this book.
It will also be useful for students to have equipment to record their own voices.
The symbol .
A
t
indicates the CD track number for recorded material, i.e. CD A, track 1.

and
English Pronunciation in Use Advanced
It is not necessary to have worked on
English Pronunciation in Use Intermediate
(see Section E5
Further reading)
before using this book. However, to practise pronunciation of particular letters
and sounds, it is recommended that students use

where additional practice of stress and intonation can also be found. Both books have the same
format of explanations and examples on the let page and exercises on the right page in each unit
