3.0 out of 5 stars Pure Practicality, May 19, 2007

"Teaching English Pronunciation" is a book entirely focused on the language classroom and the "how to" of doing pronunciation instruction. While there is some theoretical stuff there, it is very much in the backgroud to the practical side.

The book goes over issues such as sounds and spelling, introducing word stress and sounds, and so on. What I really liked was a section given to different languages and the problems their speakers have with pronouncing English sounds. Languages here include Arabic, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, German, Italian and more. This is a very useful section to have access to.

Is this book worth $78 (at time of writing)? I am not sure. It is a small book for that price. However, it is a good book, as well. I would prefer others, myself, but this one was not too bad at all.
