We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I currently teach an introductory class in phonetics and phonology for 
Masters level students in Applied Linguistics who will go on to teach TESOL. 

Question:

Can anyone on Linguist List recommend textbooks that could serve as 
introductions to Phonetics and Phonology? Specifically, the target audiences 
are Masters level students  who plan on becoming Language Teachers (not 
just TESOL) or, even possibly, Speech Pathologists? These students do not 
plan on pursuing careers in Linguistics beyond the MA. However, they need 
to be able to describe and assess intelligibility and phonological acquisition 
in the language or languages that they teach. 

I will post replies back to Linguist List, if I receive any. Gracias de antemano, 
or Thanks. - Richard Cameron
