Abstract:

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.
