{"product_id":"english-pronunciation-models-in-a-globalized-world","title":"English Pronunciation Models in a Globalized World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the topics of English accents and pronunciation. It highlights their connections with several important issues in the study of English in the world, including intelligibility, identity, and globalization. The unifying strand is provided by English pronunciation models: what do these models consist of, and why? The focus on pronunciation teaching is combined with sociolinguistic perspectives on global English, and the wider question asked by the book is: what does it mean to teach English pronunciation in a globalized world? The book takes Hong Kong – ‘Asia’s World City’ – as a case study of how global and local influences interact, and of how decisions about teaching need to reflect this interaction. It critically examines existing approaches to global English, such as World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca, and considers their contributions as well as their limitations in the Hong Kong context. A data-based approach with quantitative and qualitative data anchors the discussion and assists in the development of criteria for the contents of pronunciation models. \u003ci\u003eEnglish Pronunciation Models in a Globalized World: Accent, Acceptability and Hong Kong English\u003c\/i\u003e discusses, among other issues:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal English: A socio-linguistic toolkit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents and Communication: Intelligibility in global English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching English Pronunciation: The models debate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere Between: Accent and pronunciation in Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eResearchers and practitioners of English studies and applied linguistics will find this book an insightful resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234648707416,"sku":"9781138017474","price":204.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138017474_5818e344-1080-45be-816f-37922698915c.jpg?v=1779170441","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/english-pronunciation-models-in-a-globalized-world","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
