In view of recent debates on the global spread of English and its
international lingua franca role, what pronunciation models are
appropriate for millions of EFL learners? Which aspects of English
phonetics should be taught to foreign students and which can be
neglected with little loss to successful communication? How can
English pronunciation be taught in an interesting and effective way
which is both learner- and teacher-friendly, in accordance with the
latest scholarly and technological achievements? This
research-based book addresses these and many other fundamental
issues that are currently at the centre of pronunciation teaching.
It offers a wealth of new theoretical ideas and practical solutions
to various phonodidactic problems that arise in EFL contexts,
approaching pronunciation instruction from global and local
perspectives and supporting its theoretical claims with extensive
empirical evidence. It will be of interest to EFL teachers and
teacher trainers, pronunciation specialists and students of applied
linguistics.
