This book is for students who need to communicate clearly and effectively in an academic environment in the medium of English. The aim of the course is to help students develop their pronunciation in English to a level that enables the listener to understand them with ease. The course provides students with structured patterns of English that will lead them step-by-step towards this goal. During the course, students will also learn the phonemic alphabet; this will remain a useful aid to accurate pronunciation throughout their studies. Care has been taken to ensure that the vocabulary focused on in this course is relevant to both academic study and the general needs of the student. This book can also be used in conjunction with the following books in the English for academic study series: EAS Reading, EAS Writing, EAS Extended Writing & Research Skills, EAS Listening, EAS Speaking and EAS Vocabulary.
