Part Two describes pronunciation problems common to most ESL students in addition to the specific pronunciation problems of fourteen different language groups. Part Three, a set of articles written by practitioners in the field, considers practical issues in the teaching of pronunciation.
This book is based, to a large extent, on a book previously published by the Ministry of Citizenship, Government of Ontario. We acknowledge the Queen’s Printer for Ontario for permission to reprint portions of our previous book.
In preparing this book for Oxford University Press, we have substantially revised Chapters 1 to 4 and Chapters 7 and 8 for a wider international audience. Chapters 11, 12, and 16 in Part Three have been substantially revised and rewritten for the present volume. The other chapters in Part Three have undergone minor revisions
