Product Description
An essential book for native and non-native speakers of English who are planning or training to be teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages. It covers all the important aspects of the pronunciation of English and takes a practical top-down approach - starting with the broadest issues and moving on to intonation and stress - before looking at phonemes and the articulatory mechanisms. This practical and accessible book provides teachers with a sound grasp of the theoretical framework of phonology and develops practical ideas for integrating phonology activities into everyday teacher. The book includes an audio CD with exercises and examples.
