One of the main strengths of the book is to transform relevant theory on EIL into practical, everyday activities, placing teachers' experience and knowledge about their learners and these learners' own needs, difficulties, and interests in the centre of pronunciation practice. Focusing on learners and encouraging them to achieve international intelligibility are crucial steps within their language learning process. This is because, as explained by Walker and Archer, pronunciation is undeniably 'the very glue that holds the systems of the English language together'. To conclude, this is a book for teachers written by teachers, which makes a lot of difference.

Modern English Teacher, Ana P. Biazon Rocha, University of Sheffield

This volume provides expert advice as well as evidence-based guidance on an international intelligibility approach to the teaching of pronunciation. It is a valuable companion in the teaching of pronunciation in an EIL setting and has obvious merits. First, it is practical as it offers a variety of activities, all demonstrated clearly so that teachers can follow detailed procedures in the classroom. Second, it is illuminating as the practice activities and tips are designed to guide students to discover the rules by themselves. Third, it is reader-friendly in that the authors introduce in simple language definitions of voicing, aspiration, stress, and so on, so that readers can easily understand them. This thought-provoking volume is a source of inspiration for both veterans and newcomers to rethink the classroom practice in pronunciation teaching and learning in an EIL setting.
