English Pronunciation Exercises for Speakers of Vietnamese. Adult Education Series No. 7. Indochinese Refugee Education Guides.
Center for Applied Linguistics, Arlington, VA.
The sound systems of Vietnamese and English have very little in common and therefore the Vietnamese learner of English will have great difficulty with pronunciation. This guide points out the specific problem areas and gives pronunciation exercises to deal with each problem. Twenty-eight pronunciation lessons are included, preceded by two prototype lessons. Each lesson is divided into three parts: (1) the pronunciation drill itself; (2) language notes, an explanation of the linguistic problem involved; and (3) teaching notes, suggestions for teaching strategies. The lessons are arranged, for the most part, in order of decreasing difficulty. The brief bibliography is a sampling of useful pronunciation materials for the ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. (CFM)
