Cued Articulation Coming soon. What is Cued Articulation?
The idea of CA is to simplify what is very difficult to some people ie the organization and pronunciation of spoken English. All of the 49 sounds, or phonemes, which make up the English phonological system have a separate hand sign which is related to where and how in the mouth the sounds are made. The consonant sounds are colour coded for written work which helps decipher words with tricky spelling. The cues are based on linguistic theory and are logical and easy and fun to learn. CA is not a sign language where whole words and finger spelling are used, nor should it be confused with Cued Speech which is a totally different scheme used specifically with the severely hearing impaired. The scheme was originally devised to help speech and language handicapped children to see a sound and hear a letter by the use of easy and logical hand cues, but is also extremely valuable in ESL.
The Cued Articulation system has proven to be an invaluable teaching tool. This series covers consonants, vowels and demonstrative images and has full colour coding throughout. Its potential and practicality is widespread and utilized by speech pathologists, speech and language therapists, remedial and reading recovery teachers who find the approach helpful in showing phonemegrapheme relationships and teachers who use it in the classroom to teach the sounds of speech. Teachers who teach pronunciation to those who have English as a second language also find it extremely useful, as do teachers of the hearing impaired who want their students to see the sounds they cannot hear. Also available to compliment the book is an instructional, interactive DVD which includes demonstrations of the cues and sounds. Each of the 49 sounds which make up the English phonological system has a separate hand sign related to where and how, in the mouth, the sound is made. The signs are logical, based on sound linguistic theory. The consonant sounds are colour-coded as an extra visual cue when doing written work..

Perfect Pronunciation - A guide for trainers and selfself-help students This tome (620 pages) offers an entirely fresh approach on how to improve the clarity and quality of English pronunciation. Written by a speech pathologist, rather than a language specialist, it provides a quite different perspective to any other book on the market. Plain English has been used throughout so that both trainers and self-help students will find it simple to use. The book outlines a total training model based on principles and techniques developed by the author over many years. The approach is holistic, or multi-sensory, in nature. The ClearSpeak Model of Pronunciation Change © covers all stages of the training process from the assessment of sounds that require change, to the drawing up of a training plan, to a series of 33 Sound Guides for training each $89.95 sound (a total of 620 pages with over 240 illustrations). Around 85 detailed
techniques are provided. Background information on phonetics and speech melody has been deliberately simplified for non-expert readers. The layout is clear with many headings, illustrations and short paragraphs. Each Sound Guide includes TROUBLE SHOOTER tips on how to fix the most common problems. You simply identify the nature of the error and follow the corrective instructions. There are shaded boxes called TECHNICAL TALK spread throughout the text, targeted mainly at trainers. All training techniques are aimed at producing Standard Neutral English which, as the name implies, does not represent any particular, identifiable accent. At the same time, guidance is provided on the major English varieties of ‘Queen’s English’, General American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and South African English. Who it is for • Anyone wishing to improve their own English pronunciation, in particularly ESL speakers. • ESL language and pronunciation teachers as well as teachers of the severely hearing impaired. • Speech trainers, drama specialists, and speech pathologists. The book includes an Audio DVD of ‘listen and repeat’ exercises for every English sound. Each set of exercises includes the sound within words, phrases, and sentences.
The Pronunciation of English This revised edition incorporates the final results of Daniel Jones' lifelong study of English pronunciation usage. It is the standard work on English phonetics. The Pronunciation of English was written originally as a detailed description of the phonetics of English, presented from the point of view of the native Englishspeaking student. Since the book provided key information needed by foreign students, it soon established itself as a standard textbook in universities where English was spoken as a foreign language. Most of the book is devoted to a descriptive account of English pronunciation. This is followed by illustrative texts in phonetic transcription of Received Pronunciation and several regional varieties, Scottish and American pronunciation and reconstructions of Shakespearian and Chaucerian speech.
