This introduction to the pronunciation of American English describes the sound system, suggests ways of tackling pronunciation problems, and provides a variety of techniques and exercises for use in the classroom. Review: Great tool for ESL teachers - 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. Review: An excellent resource - 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.

Excellent, detailed textbook
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.

Wonderful text for pronunciation
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!

Cultural group examples very useful
Useful information, especially for the cultural group differences Had hoped there would be more activities that I could use in classes. Grateful for the theory that I have adapted for each class.
