ALSÓ BY EDITH CROWELL TRAGER PD's in Depth • a companion volume to The PD's • helps students develop both pronunciation and listening skills • presents text material in an active, workbook formát • treats consonant phonemes and allophones, common spelling patterns, relaxed pronunciation • accompanying audio cassettes for extensive aural/oral practice A unique text with many innovative features, PD's in Depth provides both oral and aurai practice for intermediate through advanced learners of English. In the text, students go beyond traditional formats: they not only listen and repeat, but alsó listen and choose and listen and write-all in a high-interest, high-involvement context. Eleven distinct exercise types are employed to give students repetition, discrimination, dictation, and listening practice. In PD's in Depth, the English consonant sounds are treated at both the phonemic ("generál") and allophonic ("pronunciation variation") levels; material on common spelling patterns for all consonants is alsó included. In addition, a trend-setting section on relaxed pronunciation (contraction, sound-dropping, and other sound-change patterns typical of informál or rapid speech) is an integrál part of the text. PD's in Depth, like its companion volume The PD's, presents a thorough treatment of potentially complex material in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner- a feature appreciated by students and teachers alike-and is supplemented by audio cassettes. Together, The PD's and PD's in Depth make for a pronunciation "package" which is unrivaled in the field. Vissza
