Product description
Review
“A concise, readable and teachable framework. It will be invaluable not only to teachers of EFL, but also to everyone teaching or studying linguistics and phonetics, speech and drama, and speech and language therapy. It is a book I wish I had written myself – but I don’t think I would have been able to make such a good job of it.” (From the Foreword by J.C. Wells, Emeritus Professor of Phonetics, University College London, UK)
“The subject of the phonetics of the standard English accent has been in the doldrums, and most pronunciation materials in current use are outdated. English After RP – whose author is ideally qualified – sets out the groundwork for a complete rethink. I believe the book will establish itself as an essential foundation for new directions in the phonetics of English.” (Peter Roach, Emeritus Professor of Phonetics, University of Reading, UK)

I teach on the MA/ MFA voice course at the Royal Central in London. We are training voice coaches who can become accent and speech coaches. This book breaks down the nuances of RP and its newer label SBB in such a clear, organised and interesting way! Using this in my classes from now on. Thank you!

This is a very clearly written book for those who teach pronunciation. It is very insightful into the vowel shift which has taken place so that RP is sounding different in the 21st Century. It gives you the understanding of sounds to make sure that your students sound contemporary and not stuck in years gone by. Geoff is a very knowledgeable guy and it shows in this book.

A must-read for anyone interested in contemporary pronunciation from the South of England.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2020Verified Purchase
I've long been aware that my accent is different to received pronunciation but had never appreciated the extent to which it differs. This book has been a real she opened for me in terms of showing me how to accurately transcribe my accent (something that I've often tried but always failed to do as I was trying to use RP vowels. This book is the first time that I've seen the way I pronounce certain words described in a way that feels accurate.

the book tells more about history of R.P rather than teaches how to use it.

A very interesting book. It’s technical but also explains the history of the RP evolution.
