This book examines the pronunciation goals of teachers, course
leaders, and learners on a ten-week UK pre-sessional access course,
particularly with regard to suprasegmental instruction and target
of instruction on how these goals are reflected in pronunciation
assessment, and how teacher goals are informed by their attitudes
and beliefs. A mixed methods approach, including direct observation
and semi-structured interviews, is employed to address the area of
enquiry. Results show a lack of clarity of course goals. Although
there is a firm emphasis on suprasegmental instruction, in
semi-structured interviews, teachers report a lack of clear course
goals and guidance. Assessment and practice do not always adhere to
a goal of intelligibility, and support for teachers, in terms of
the materials and how they might be exploited seems limited. The
book concludes with tentative recommendations on how suprasegmental
instruction might be facilitated on EAP and other courses
