Teaching English Pronunciation: A Book of Readings

Few teachers would deny that pronunciation is an important component of a learner's ability in English. However, many teachers lack background knowledge in the subject, and are unsure of how to teach it in the classroom. This carefully selected collection of published articles provides an authoritative account of the theory and practice of pronunciation, discussing both what should be taught as well as how it should be taught. In five sections, Teaching English Pronunciation covers international models of English, theories of pronunciation teaching, the application of phonological theory, descriptions of English pronunciation and techniques for the classroom. The authors are all well-known international experts in the field. The book also includes a bibliography of relevant books and articles. This book should be of interest to teachers of English as a foreign language, also students and teachers of phonetics, phonology and speech therapy.
