Pronunciation for English as an International Language

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book offers a comprehensive resource for teachers, student-teachers and researchers, providing the necessary concepts and skills needed to develop sound practices for the teaching of pronunciation." -- Professor Jack C Richards

"This book's greatest strength is in connecting the research and terminology in EIL, WE and ELF. ELF currently dominates pronunciation discussions, but rarely is the historical background of ELF evident, even though that historical background (EIL and WE) is alive and well (as in Nelson, 2011). Second, the topical organization of pronunciation research in each chapter will help researchers push forward research in particular areas. Some of these chapters are particularly valuable, such as the chapter on rhythm, an area that is especially dif?cult to research but which is critical in discussions of EIL." -- John M. Levis, Iowa State University 'This book offers a comprehensive resource for teachers, student-teachers and researchers, providing the necessary concepts and skills needed to develop sound practices for the teaching of pronunciation.' - Jack C Richards, Honorary Professor, University of Sydney, Australia
