Backpacker's Guide to Teaching English Book 1 Pronunciation: Cracking The Code

English is crazy. The problem with English the alphabet. With only 26 letters for 40+ sounds, learners can't speak English from reading it. In Cracking the Code you'll find context - the story of how English writing and speaking developed separately with no logical letter system to bridge the parts. The focus of this book is a simple sound alphabet so learners can finally see what English sounds like. As a bonus feature, there is a tool for comparing English sounds to those of any other language. Isolating the specific sounds, a learner needs accelerates their learning. Success brings joy to your students and to you. Helping learners to pronounce English confidently is easier than you could imagine with the approach found in Cracking the Code.
