Nancy,

I have used Clear Speech with higher level students.  It is very useful but can be boring.  I used it as a supplement to my Pronunciation Pairs stories/activities.

  I was planning to use Clear Speech for North American English (published by Cambridge) in the spring semester, but I'm a little concerned that it hasn't come up yet in this thread. Has anyone used this program? If so, is there anything about it I should be forewarned about? I'm not promoting the text. I'm just wondering if I'll have cause to regret my choice. Thanks for any advice.
  Nancy

    I find that “Pronunciation Pairs” by Cambridge University Press is a wonderful book for teaching pronunciation and spelling. The author lists the spelling variations for each sound at the end of the unit. It is very easy to use. We have created pronunciation “workshops” and have found it to be very successful. Jay
