The book is an attempt to fill a real gap in the materials available on practical phonetics. The bulk of the theoretical material on English practical phonetics presented in the manual has been used for many years in teaching first-year students and has, in the authors’ opinion, passed the test of time. In preparing the manual for publication, the authors have enlarged the original material by including exercises in practising English articulation and intonation, the list of tongue twisters, preparatory tests and a list of phonetic and grammar terms with transcription. The material presented has been developed for use in the classroom as well for students working alone. The manual concentrates on elements of pronunciation which help students to overcome difficulties in acquiring English pronunciation, understand and be understood in English as well as develop a competence for effective speaking.
