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.

Jennifer Jenkins, Emeritus Professor, University of Southampton, UK

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.
