In the dark ages, students learnedhow to answer reading comprehensions accurately by trial and errorand by practice. These days, what we know about reading theorycan take the mystery and hit-and-miss element out of learning howto answer reading comprehension questions either for the mundanepurpose of passing college English examinations or, more usefully,to apply relevant skills to the reading students have to do in college.Students learn more effectively and more quickly when they aretaught why certain strategies benefit them. If they can internalize thetheory they can buy into it. In this book, each chapter starts with thetheory or reasons why certain skills are useful and how they can bemastered, followed by comprehension exercises. Each chapter alsocontains a second reading passage on a topic that is commonly foundat college level. Each comprehension exercise comprises questionswhich test skills in surface-level reading, understanding nuances,making inferences, giving opinions, and summarizing as well asgauge students’ vocabulary range.CONTENTS1.

It shows how phonics can be anexceptionally valuable tool in helping children learn to read as part ofa balanced reading programme. In addition to providing a mappingbetween the letters of English and how they are pronounced usingstandard Internatiional Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols, the bookshows how these rules for symbol-sound correspondences can beutilised by children as they develop skills in the decoding of texts.Practical suggestions for the classroom are also given. Furthermore,the book discusses issues that arise when phonics is adopted aspart of a reading programme for children in Southeast Asia, largelybecause of idiosyncratic features of pronunciation found in theregion.CONTENTSSeries Editors’ PrefacePrefaceAbout the AuthorsInternational Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) SymbolsChapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 Theories of ReadingChapter 3 ConsonantsChapter 4 VowelsChapter 5 PhonicsGlossaryKey to ExercisesReferencesChildren’s BooksWebsitesTASK DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION ANDASSESSMENTPhillip Towndrow2007 / 136 pagesISBN: 978-0-07-126183-8Available: May 2007[An Asian Publication]This book is a survival guide in using Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT) effectively.

However, for various reasons, many of themrelated to the history of the language, the English spelling system isperhaps the worst example of an alphabetic system in existence. Asa result, transcription systems for representing the pronunciation ofEnglish in a one-to-one way have had to be devised. Sounds, Symbolsand Spellings explains the rationale for, and gives familiarisationpractice in the symbols of the transcription system used in all goodmodern British English dictionaries.CONTENTSPreface1: Consonant and vowel sounds – Consonants, Vowels, Names ofletters of the alphabet2: Background – The priority of spoken language, The alphabeticprinciple, The history of English spelling, Confusing letters withsounds, Strategies for finding the pronunciation of unfamiliar words,British English as a reference accent, ‘The IPA’3: Minimal pairs – Definition, Sounds and frequencies4: Homophones and homographs – Homophones, Homographs,Homonyms5: Stress and schwa – Word stress, Secondary stress, The schwavowel, Stress in grammatical words, Schwa in connected speech6: Syllable structure – Parts of a syllable, Alliteration, Rhyme,Reduplication, Onsets and slips of the tongue, Syllable structurerules7: Practice tasks8: Tips for correct transcription – General pointers, Consonants,Vowels, Stress9: Literacy and spelling reform – Literacy, Spelling reformConclusionAnswer keysFurther reading and websitesReferencesContents of the CDCONTENTSSeries Editors’ PrefaceAcknowledgementsAbout the AuthorChapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 Students’ Language, Communication and Literacy Needsin the Digital AgeChapter 3 Untangling the World Wide WebChapter 4 Pedagogy and Practice with ICT in ContemporaryLanguage Teaching and Learning ContextsChapter 5 Language Task Design with ICTChapter 6 Implementing Language Tasks with ICTChapter 7 Assessment and Learning English with ICTChapter 8 English Language Teacher Professional DevelopmentUsing ICT As a Catalyst39

Therefore, even though the researchers are investigatinga wide range of different topics connected with pronunciation, all thestudies maintain a focus on the same corpus of data. The book isaccompanied by two CD-ROMs, one containing the whole corpus andanother containing the extracts used in the chapters. The CD-ROMswill be useful to any reader who wishes to listen to the actual speechsamples used by the researchers. The final chapter of the book is abibliography of over 250 references on research into the pronunciationof Singapore English. The book will be of great value to researchers,and post-graduate and undergraduate students of the phonetics ofworld varieties of English.CONTENTSIntroductionContributorsBackground1: The NIE corpus of spoken Singapore English2: A checklist of Singapore English pronunciation features Consonants3: The realization of final plosives in Singapore English: phonologicalrules and ethnic differences4: Past tense suffixes and other final plosives in Singapore English5: Added final plosives in Singapore English6: Vocalization of , l, in Singapore English Vowels7: Reduced vowels in conversational Singapore English8: Triphthongs in Singapore English Suprasegmentals9: Rhythm in Singapore and British English: a comparative study ofindexes10: Prominence in Singapore and American English: evidence fromreading aloud11: Observations on British and Singaporean perception of prominence12: Discourse intonation variants in the speech of educatedSingaporeans Conversation analysis13: Investigating turn-taking in the NIE corpus of spoken SingaporeEnglish14: Exchange rhythm in Singapore English in a cross-cultural contextIntelligibility15: Inter-accent and inter-cultural intelligibility: a study of listeners inSingapore and Britain16: The intelligibility of Singaporean English: a case study in anAustralian university17: Listening to other English: British listeners on Singapore speakers18: The intelligibility of Singapore English from a Japanese perspectiveBibliography19: A bibliography on Singapore English pronunciationIndexENGLISH IN SINGAPORE: ANINTRODUCTIONEe Ling Low and Adam Brown2004ISBN: 978-0-07-123975-2[An Asian Publication]English in Singapore: An Introduction gives a broad overview ofthe history, status and features of this New English. It briefly describesthe position of New Englishes within the range of English-speakingcountries around the world, before outlining the historical advent andspread of English in Singapore. The present-day status of SingaporeEnglish, and various analytical frameworks proposed for describing it,are examined, including the fact that Singaporeans speak English andat least one other language. An exploration of the types of judgementthat speakers make about language is necessary before embarkingon a systematic description of features of Singapore English. Thesefeatures include vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, bothsegmental (vowels and consonants) and suprasegmental (stress,rhythm and intonation). These features are recapped in an analysis ofa scene from Beauty World, investigating the use of Singapore Englishin creative literature. The final chapter considers the implications thatSingapore English has for Singaporean teachers. The book providesa general introduction to Singapore English, as it covers all majoraspects, and incorporates the results of research carried out overthe last two decades. It can be used as a coursebook, as it includesseveral exercises for readers to investigate their own use of English. Itwill also be important reading for researchers, teachers and studentsin Singapore, as well as anyone interested in the development andcharacteristics of the New variety of English.CONTENTSEnglish in Singapore: An Introduction AcknowledgementsPreface1 Introduction2 History3 Present-day status and roles4 Bi- and multi-lingualism5 Rules and judgements6 Vocabulary7 Grammar8 Vowels9 Consonants10 Word stress11 Rhythm12 Intonation13 Singapore English in creative literature14 Implications for teachingKeys to exercisesFurther reading and websitesReferencesIndex40

Advanced CoursesENGLISH LANGUAGE MYTHS 30 BELIEFSTHAT AREN’T REALLY TRUEAdam Brown2002ISBN: 978-0-07-120534-4[An Asian Publication]The aim of the book is to dispel beliefs about English which areheld by English teachers in Singapore, Southeast Asia and beyond.These beliefs are either wide of the mark or stated too strongly.However, they are widely held, and thus are taught in schools andin exercise books, and appear in tests and examinations. The 30chapters (corresponding to 30 myths examined) cover the natureand status of English, grammar, morphology, pragmatics, spellingand pronunciation. The approach adopted shows that many of thebeliefs held by teachers are not substantiated by what speakers ofEnglish actually do. Quotations from literature, reference books andfrom corpus data are given to support the analysis. The author is anauthoritative figure in his field, and has many years of experience intraining English language teachers in Southeast Asian countries. Thediscussions that focus on Southeast Asia and Singapore in particularmake this book very relevant to both English language teachers andstudents in the region.CONTENTSIntroductionAcknowledgementsAbbreviationsMyth 1 -- Singaporeans are not native speakers of EnglishMyth 2 -- Singapore English is British EnglishMyth 3 -- Singaporeans can switch easily from Singapore colloquialEnglish to Singapore standard EnglishMyth 4 -- How come?
