Master American English pronunciation with story-based lessons, IPA guides, and minimal-prep teaching tools — designed for ESL teachers, pronunciation coaches, and A2–B2 learners ready to make real gains.
ESL Tutoring Pro: American English Pronunciation — Volume One is a complete, ready-to-use system for teaching the sounds that most challenge Slavic, Northern European, and Turkish learners of American English.
Twelve structured lessons follow Viktor — an accident-prone European navigating daily American life — through high-frequency scenarios engineered to reinforce key pronunciation targets. When a story sticks, the sounds inside it stick too. That’s not a gimmick — it’s how memory works, and this book is built around it.
Why this book works:
Story-based learning — target sounds embedded in memorable, high-context narratives that make correct pronunciation feel natural rather than drilled
IPA and articulation training — clear phonetic symbols paired with practical mouth-position diagrams that show learners exactly how to form each sound
Minimal-prep lessons — plans, drills, minimal pairs, and assessments included so teachers spend class time teaching, not preparing
Spiral progression — high-error sounds including /v/, /w/, and /θ/ /ð/ are systematically revisited across multiple lessons with fresh contexts, building accuracy through spaced repetition
Stress and rhythm diagnostics — practical tools to identify and correct real-world speaking errors under conversational pressure
Free audio support — all lesson audio available at onlinetutoringresources.com/audio-files, no account required
