This engaging, succinct text is an introduction to both phonetics
and phonology as applied to the teaching of pronunciation to
English language learners. Section 1 selectively covers the main
areas of phonetics and phonology, without going into any area in
more depth than the average English language teacher requires or
that the average English language teacher trainee can handle.
Section 2 focuses on practical issues related to learners and how
they learn languages, and what represents good practice in terms of
classroom activities for pronunciation-including aspects such as
targets, motivation and priorities. The chapters end with
activities to help the reader understand concepts. Section 3
provides innovative sample activities which put into practice the
theoretical points covered in the first two sections, answers to
the various exercises, recommended further reading (both print and
non-print), a glossary of technical phonetic terms, and a
bibliography of works on pronunciation teaching. The text is
accompanied by a Companion Website with audio recordings of model
pronunciations and audio material relating to the activities.
