Pronunciation in EFL Instruction

Jolanta Szpyra-Kozłowska is Associate Professor of English Linguistics and Chair of the Phonetics and Phonology Unit in the Department of English at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin, Poland. She has published extensively (7 books and over 100 papers) on English and Polish phonology, the phonology-morphology interaction, the acquisition of English phonetics and phonology by Poles, pronunciation pedagogy, foreign accent perception and gender linguistics.

This publication considers a fundamental and practical issue: the teaching of the pronunciation of a foreign language, which is the major aspect of a language for learners at a time when English has become a Lingua Franca(...)There should be two possible groups of readers for this book: English teachers - particularly those with an enthusiasm for pronunciation instruction and phoneticians, postgraduate researchers, as well as students of English and ELF theoreticians who should not remain indifferent to the theoretical and thought-provoking insights it contains.
