A comprehensive introduction to teaching the pronunciation of North American English. By Peter Avery and Susan Ehrlich. Part of the Oxford Handbooks for Language Teachers series.

As an ESL teacher, have you looked at the phonetics textbooks on the market and decided that they don't directly address your needs? Unlike pronunciation books aimed at students of linguistics or at learners of English, Teaching American English Pronunciation has been written specifically for ESL teachers. It doesn't only give academic descriptions, but also helps you to improve your students' pronunciation effectively.

"'This is a handy reference book for the bookshelves of any language teacher with international students.'" - EL Gazette
