Well Said: Advanced English Pronunciation - Tapa blanda

Well Said is designed to improve the speech intelligibility of high intermediate to advanced ESL learners. It was written with the general ESL/EFL population in mind, but should be especially useful to learners who wish to communicate more clearly in academic, business, scientific, and professional settings. Well Said addresses the pronunciation needs of students from a variety of language backgrounds. The body of the text focuses on problems of sound/spelling patterns, syllables, word endings, linking, stress, rhythm, and intonation common to students of most language backgrounds. The appendices provide individualized practice for consonant and vowel problems, which can vary widely in most groups of students.

Well Said is designed to enhance speech intelligibility by focusing on common problems of advanced learners, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm.
