About the Book

Equips readers to develop an intelligibility-oriented approach to pronunciation teaching suitable for any second/foreign language or Global Englishes setting.  This book offers principled guidance for practitioners and researchers on developing a feature-based approach to teaching English pronunciation, with a focus on intelligibility within communicative contexts. Using Hong Kong English as a case study, it facilitates teachers and students in critically exploring English intelligibility within their own sociolinguistic and educational contexts and questioning the perceived importance of native speaker pronunciation. The book examines curricula, assessments, teaching materials, teacher perceptions, pronunciation teaching strategies and corrective feedback practices, and develops a contextualised approach to pronunciation teaching that prioritises key features affecting understanding, particularly in World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca settings. Discussion and inquiry tasks in each chapter make this ideal for trainee teachers and teacher educators, while researchers will find valuable tools to explore intelligibility-oriented approaches in diverse contexts.

Review :
This much-needed book details a groundbreaking and innovative approach to pronunciation learning and teaching. This method, while based on a local variety of English, considers local and global communicative needs. It presents a pedagogic framework for integrating an intelligibility-oriented approach to pronunciation into classroom practice. English teachers world-wide will find it immensely valuable. This volume will make a fascinating read for anyone interested in new orientations to pronunciation and its teaching in relation to World Englishes and English as a lingua franca. While focusing on the Hong Kong context, its comprehensive but highly readable coverage of the theoretical background and its original perspective will resonate widely. The volume provides a thoughtful and research-driven intelligibility-oriented approach to English pronunciation teaching within a multilingual framework, using Hong Kong English as a case study. As the book offers practical frameworks for teachers to integrate intelligibility principles into curricula, classroom practice, and assessment in multilingual contexts, it is a wonderful resource for teachers and researchers interested in pronunciation teaching.
