This book offers contemporary perspectives on English pronunciation
teaching and research in the context of increasing multilingualism
and English as an international language. It reviews current theory
and practice in pronunciation pedagogy, language learning, language
assessment, and technological developments, and presents an
expanded view of pronunciation in communication, education, and
employment. Its eight chapters provide a comprehensive and
up-to-date analysis of pronunciation and the linguistic and social
functions it fulfils. Topics include pronunciation in first and
second language acquisition; instructional approaches and factors
impacting teachers' curriculum decisions; methods for assessing
pronunciation; the use of technology for pronunciation teaching,
learning, and testing; pronunciation issues of teachers who are
second-language speakers; and applications of pronunciation
research and pedagogy in L1 literacy and speech therapy, forensic
linguistics, and health, workplace, and political communication.
The chapters also critically examine the research base supporting
specific teaching approaches and identify research gaps in need of
further investigation. This rigorous work will provide an
invaluable resource for teachers and teacher educators; in addition
to researchers in the fields of applied linguistics, phonology and
communication.

This book aims to provide a clear description of key aspects of
English phonology in order to help teachers diagnose and prioritize
problem areas in pronunciation. It also aims to develop an
awareness of current issues and relevant research in the field to
inform teachers decisions, not only about what to teach, but how to
teach pronunciation, particularly in EIL contexts. Specifically, it
aims to enable readers to: * Understand key terms and concepts in
phonology and phonetics *Become aware of current issues and debates
in research and apply these to pronunciation teaching, particularly
in EIL contexts *Conduct phonological analysis of learner language,
including phonemic transcription *Diagnose and assess learner's
pronunciation difficulties and needs *Plan a structured
pronunciation syllabus The book assumes no prior knowledge and is a
key resource for both newcomers and experienced practitioners in
the fields of English Language Teaching as well as students of
applied linguistics.
