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.
