505 _a"Phonology for Listening brings listening in English Language Teaching into the 21st century. Learners have problems decoding fast spontaneous speech, and Phonology for Listening – using many recorded examples – provides teachers of English with new concepts, fresh thinking and innovative practical ideas to help students decode the realities of spontaneous speech. It is written for teachers of English worldwide. There are four parts, each with five chapters.
505 _aThe window on speech framework introduces the framework which is used for the analysis and presentation of recorded examples and for teaching listening.
505 _aDescribing spontaneous speech examines what happens to words when they are subjected to the speeds, rhythms and stresses of spontaneous speech.
505 _aAccents identity and emotion in speech describes accents of Britain and Ireland, North America and of Global English. Identity, prejudice and emotion are also covered.
505 _aTeaching listening describes practical activities – both low-tech and hi-tech – for improving the teaching of listening in the classroom.
