What is Teaching American English Pronunciation (Oxford Handbooks for Language Teachers Series) about?

A textbook and reference manual on teaching the pronunciation of North American English, written specifically for teachers of English as a second Language (ESL).

It covers spelling and pronunciation, the individual sounds of English, English sounds in context, the shape of English words, word stress and vowel reduction, and connected speech. Throughout this part of the book, the authors use examples of typical errors made by ESL students to illustrate the descriptions and concepts they describe. - Part Two describes the pronunciation problems that most ESL students have with English vowels, consonants, stress, rhythm, and intonation. It then goes on to look at the specific pronunciation problems of speakers of fifteen different languages: Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hind
