The three purposes of this guide are to provide information on the Khmer language, alphabet, and educational systems which will be useful to Americans teaching English to Cambodian refugees; to give specific suggestions for teaching Cambodians to write the English alphabet; and to provide teaching materials that deal with the particular pronunciation problems Cambodians have in learning English. The Khmer language is briefly described in terms of its origin and history; its sounds--syllables, vowels, consonants, diphthongs, intonation patterns; its word formation--prefixes, infixes, suffixes; and its sentence structure. The Khmer alphabet is discussed, and the history of education and literacy in Cambodia is briefly traced. A short overview of teaching English to Cambodian refugees is presented as is general information on pronunciation lessons, fourteen of which are included in the guide. Sources for further reference are appended. (EJS)
