This is the third in a series of four complementary books focusing on pronunciation. This one contains information-gap activities for pairs or small groups. Each of the 12 activities is designed to take around 15-20 minutes of class time; alternative versions are sometimes provided. The book includes practice in distinguishing minimum pairs and word stress. ‘Sound bites’ is fun, illustrating homophones in a humorous way, eg., ‘great eyes’ and ‘grey ties’. The activities are creative, and the graphics are inventive. Pronunciation is an often-neglected area, making this well- crafted set of materials especially welcome. The first two PronPacks have previously been reviewed here.
