English Pronunciation Instruction: Research-based insights presents recent research on L2 English pronunciation including pedagogical implications and applications, and seeks to bridge the gulf between pronunciation research and teaching practice. The volume’s 15 chapters cover a range of aspects that are central to pronunciation teaching, including the teaching of different segmental and suprasegmental features, teachers’ and learners’ views and practices, types and sources of learners’ errors, feedback and assessment, tools and strategies for pronunciation instruction, reactions towards accented speech, as well as the connection between research and teaching. Chapters offer a fully developed section on pedagogical implications with insightful suggestions for classroom instruction. This format and the variety of topics will be informative for researchers, language teachers, and students interested in English pronunciation, as it explores the diverse challenges learners of different L1 backgrounds face, and also provides research-informed techniques and recommendations on how to cope with them.
The main purpose of the volume is to connect research and pedagogy by promoting discussion of the pedagogical implications and applications that current research findings have for pronunciation instruction. It also aims to reframe how researchers see pedagogy. During the conference, we heard more and more colleagues express a mutual wish to see the two worlds of research and practice learn to communicate more effectively. If only research results could translate into hands-on pedagogical practices, and if only pressing pedagogical issues could be brought by teachers to the attention of researchers and publishers. Such a connection might help reduce the reluctancy of many teachers to teach pronunciation – whose hesitation we have so frequently encountered, even though pronunciation is recognised as a crucial language skill. Thus, we felt that we could prompt language teachers and researchers to more clearly see how relevant they are to one another.
