Pronunciation Matters - Sucharan Reddy Rekulapally - Bog

The book titled 'Pronunciation Matters (British vs American) - A Beginner's Guide' is a modest attempt on the part of writer to provide a supporting system for teachers and learners working in low resource conditions across India. This book intends to help teachers in lending support and giving practice to their students in pronouncing the words intelligibly with ease and confidence. As this book is a Beginner's Guide, it will ensure one in understanding the importance of pronunciation of British vs American words. As English is not the first language in almost all the states in indiaa, it becomes quite difficult for students and teacher's at times to pronounce all the words correctly. The book aims to focus on the fundamentals of pronunciation of both British and American words. With the advent of globalization and industrialization, English language has gained momentum and it has become necessary to speak and write English with free of errors. Spoken English is all about how one utters the words and pronounces them. As English is an orthographic language, the tendency to mispronounce the words is highly possible. Good pronunciation skill can give more self-confidence when one speaks in front of many people. In addition, as professional communication has become important, all that matters is how one pronounces the words without nervous and hesitation. Regular practice of the words listed in the book would render a great help in improving pronunciation.
Keeping in mind of all the above, by this volume, I tried to not only create awareness in teachers and learners about the importance of pronouncing words clearly, but also to assist whoever takes initiative and comes forward to improve their spoken English. Finally, volume will help as a substantial guide in changing the approach of students towards understanding pronunciation in broad.
I sincerely hope and believe that this book will be a source of help and support to all the teachers and learners who wish to improve their spoken skills.
