The Sounds of Spoken English: A Manual of Ear Training for English Students / (4th edition)

A practical manual presenting ear-training methods and a descriptive account of English speech sounds, aimed at teachers and students. It outlines the physical organs of speech and basic voice production, introduces phonetic transcription using the International Phonetic Association, and offers graded listening and pronunciation exercises, specimen passages, and instructional charts. The author discusses classroom applications for foreign-language teaching, recommends diagnostic listening, and provides phonetic transcriptions and practice material rather than an exhaustive scientific treatment, noting limitations and inviting further study.
