Product Description
Product Description
This book advocates a new approach to pronunciation teaching, in which the goal is mutual intelligibility among non-native speakers, rather than imitating native speakers. It will be of interest to all teachers of English as an International Language, especially Business English. It proposes a basic core of phonological teaching, with controversial suggestions for what should be included.

a reader from leeds,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Phonology of English as an International Language: New Models, New Norms, New Goals (Oxford Applied Linguistics) (Paperback)
Fascinating and utterly convincing: a truly seminal publicationThis is to my mind one of the most important books on the teaching of English pronunciation to second language learners to emerge for several years. It is bound to prove controversial, attacking as it does, many of the comfortable assumptions of those who adhere rigidly to standard language ideologies. In addition, Jenkins' enterprise is both vast and the first of its kind. This means that although her principle (a pronunciation core based on phonological intelligibility in interaction between non-native speakers) is in itself an excellent one, her findings - as she herself points out - cannot be considered definitive until further work has been carried out in the field. In the meantime, anyone with a sound understanding of sociolinguistic research methods will find Jenkins' methodology and reporting of her data fascinating and utterly convincing. This reader for one hopes that the book will be read widely and will encourage others to take up the EIL challenge. A truly seminal publication.

Academically stimulating, pedagogically useful,
This review is from: The Phonology of English as an International Language: New Models, New Norms, New Goals (Oxford Applied Linguistics) (Paperback)
Dr. Jenkins adds to the Standard English and Core English debate with this very useful study of the pronunciation of English as international lingua franca. By taking what is actually comprehensible, rather than measuring pronunciation against often unattainable, so-called native speaker standards, Jenkins offers a way into establishing an international standard of English, not only in the area of phonology, but with immense possibilities for grammar and lexis.On the practical side, Jenkins' work should at last liberate English language classrooms from the tyranny of RP and GA pronunciation and allow teachers to get on with the essential task of preparing learners for international communication. Linguists, applied linguists, EL teachers and teacher educators can all benefit enormously from this excellent work.
