This little book with twin cassettes offers a real opportunity for EFL teachers to offer students both fun and real, formal pronunciation, albeit from a bygone era when 'posh' BBC accents or Received Pronunciation ruled the waves. It is still as valuable today as it was in 1965, even though one may have to adapt the methodology. Five star course and worth the money.

Jean likes gin... but gin doesn't like Jean.
31 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
John Trim's English Pronunciation Illustrated is an excellent tool for teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language. It goes over the major phonemes individually and then works through minimal pairs. Each sound is illustrated with examples of simpler words and rather complicated sentences -- and accompanied by witty cartoon-type pictures that demonstrate what is going on. The books works on many many levels -- from the simplest sound exercizes with kids who love the pictures and have fun trying to pronounce the words -- to adults, who will understand the subtler humor and can appreciate the gentle mockery of British stereotypes.
Ex: Long i: sound Stephen meets Eve one evening for a meal. Stephen is greedy. He eats three pieces of cheese. Asleep, Stephen dreams of Eve. He sees Eve fleeing from three beasts.
The only problem for American readers lies in the British pronunciation -- which means that some of the examples do not work: "cart" and "can't" are not fine illustration of a long a sound for American speakers of English.
