Summary:
"Teaching Pronunciation offers current and prospective teachers of English a comprehensive treatment of pronunciation pedagogy, drawing on both current theory and practice. The text provides: an overview of teaching issues from the perspective of different methodologies and second language acquisition research; innovative teaching techniques; a thorough grounding in the sound system of North American English; insight into how this sound system intersects with listening, morphology, and spelling; diagnostic tools and assessment measures; and suggestions for syllabus design." "Discussion questions encourage readers to draw on their personal language learning/teaching experiences as they assimilate the contents of each chapter. Follow-up exercises guide teachers in developing a range of classroom activities within a communicative framework. A training cassette offers practice in transcribing sounds and assessing learners' pronunciation."--BOOK JACKET.
