Sound Scripting

Tuesday October 7, 2008
Recently, while creating a course on presentation skills in English, I came across a wonderful book by Mark Powell entitled Presenting in English. In it, there are "sound scripting" exercises which help learners become more expressive by taking sentence intonation skills to the next level. This sound scripting page has an example (with audio example) of an intermediate level text and and advanced level text which have been scripted to help with pronunciation.

You may also want to review the basics of intonation and word stress in English to help your pronunciation.
