Title: Resources and Textbooks about Pronunciation, ESL
Body: The following question produced several responses. "I would like to know if there is a text or resource available that would help explain English rules of pronunciation and stress." The best pronunciation text I have ever worked with (and my personal favorite) is Linda Grant's Well Said (Heinle & Heinle). All pronunciation questions will be answered and are taught to the students in a communicative fashion. Ochoa, A. (13 Apr. 2004). Re: Pronunciation. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (29 Apr. 2004). Another great pronunciation text is Sue Miller's 'Targeting Pronunciation.' I find 'Targeting' more suitable for high intermediate to advanced classes. For self-study, I'd recommend Barron's 'American Accent Training.' For beginners, we use 'Small Talk Jazz Chants' along with the 'New Interchange' series. The pronunciation features of 'New Interchange' are VERY useful. Sandeen, S. (13 Apr. 2004). Re: Pronunciation. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (29 Apr. 2004). I have been teaching Accent Improvement for years at the community college level- high intermediate students. By far, the best Pronunciation Texts available are English Pronunciation for International Students (Pearson Education) by Dr. Paulette Dale and Lillian Poms, (this is generic for all learners regardless of native language), and English Pronunciation for Spanish Speakers: Vowels, and English Pronunciation for Spanish Speakers: Consonants (also by Dr. Dale and Poms and published by Pearson Ed.) There are self tests and very engaging exercises. There are wonderful pictures of mouth and lips and a terrific section entitled To the Teacher with diagnostic test guidelines for teachers to do a systematic analysis of a student's error patterns. Najera, M. (17 Apr. 2004). Re: Pronunciation. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (29 Apr. 2004). I have recently worked on a paper on teaching Pronunciation. While doing so I have found 2 books really helpful. They are Dalton and Barbara(1994) Pronunciation and Kelly Gerald's(2000) How to teach Pronunciation. Gerald's book deals with more current issues. I think in teaching pronunciation, they will be helpful. Tasneen, W. (19 Apr. 2004). Re: Pronunciation. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (29 Apr. 2004).

Title: Teaching idea: Holiday detectives
Body: I recently spent two weeks cycling 1200km. When I returned to my home in France, I had a big pile of maps, receipts, timetables, little notes, postcards, brochures etc. I took them all to class and rather than tell my students about 'what I did on my holiday', I got my students to tell me what they think I did. It was wonderful to watch them with a large map, plotting my journey, using all sorts of language to discuss the possibilities. I kept a low profile, writing things on the whiteboard or slipping notes to students rather than stopping the flow. So next time you come back from holiday, don't throw away all those ticket stubs and timetables, take them to class! Editor's Note: This could also work be a student-centered task as students bring in items to get their classmates guessing about their vacations. Taylor, J. Holiday detectives.
