Accent Modification Manual: Materials and Activities

This book carries a lot of good information for accent reduction if your main concern is learning the "flow" of American English but it does not talk very much about the actual pronunciation of individual sounds. It may also be very difficult to read if English is not your first language.

Accent Modification Manual: Material and Activities helps non-native speakers of the English language to have a better grasp of American English accent. Harold T. Edwards and Kathy Harris Strattman led learners of American English into a series of invaluable activities, essential to speaking and understanding American English with confidence. Some of the most salient treatments in the book are emphases on important words in sentenses, pitch levels, lip rounding, ligatures, and blends. Moreover, this book can benefit Americans who seek to improve in speaking their language with clarity.Remy Nelson, M.Div.
