Teaching American English Pronunciation (Oxford Handbooks for Language Teachers Series)

I teach ESL and also accent reduction on-line. I would highly recommend this book to teachers working with English learners. The authors have included topics ranging from individual sounds, word stress, connected speech, teaching tips, and specific language group challenges. Organized, easy to use, and very helpful.

This book only discusses each issue briefly, but it covers extensive topics and you will find it especially helpful if you are teaching English to L1 Cantonese or Vietnamese speakers.

I am an ESL teacher/tutor and I borrowed this book from the library just to peruse it. It ended up having such a wide variety of useful information that I decided to purchase it. Especially interesting is the section on pronunciation issues specific to common native languages of ELL's. Highly recommend this book as a resource for anyone interested in teaching or learning American English.

Prompt and as advertised. It is a valuable learning and teaching resource. Thank you.

An extremely detailed instruction manual for teaching American English to speakers of other languages. This was required reading for one of M.Ed classes (major in ESL education), and it is highly recommended for all ESL teachers.

Excellent book

This book helped me create goals for my accent modification client as a speech pathologist. It gave some ideas of what to work on based on clients primary language.

Item was as described.Thanks

Useful information, especially for the cultural group differencesHad hoped there would be more activities that I could use in classes. Grateful for the theory that I have adapted for each class.

Rely on this alot. The exercises are helpful as well.

As a tertiary-level EFL lecturer in Austria, I highly recommend this text for teaching pronunciation! The text gives a great background of basic knowledge for phonetics and offers great tips on teaching pronunciation. A must-have for the (American) English language teacher!

This book is very useful for potential ESL Teachers in their preparation in Linguistics. I recommend it.

A great reference, with lots of practical and easy to apply pronunciation teaching tips. Well worth the price.
