520    This engaging, succinct text is an introduction to both 
       phonetics and phonology as applied to the teaching of 
       pronunciation and to the teaching of pronunciation to 
       English language learners. Section 1 selectively covers 
       the main areas of phonetics and phonology, without going 
       into any area in more depth than the average English 
       language teacher requires or that the average English 
       language teacher trainee can handle. Section 2 focuses on 
       practical issues related to learners and how they learn 
       languages, and what represents good practice in terms of 
       classroom activities for pronunciation including aspects 
       such as targets, motivation and priorities. The chapters 
       end with activities to help the reader understand 
       concepts. Section 3 provides innovative sample activities 
       which put into practice the theoretical points covered in 
       the first two sections, answers to the various exercises, 
       recommended further reading (both print and non-print), a 
       glossary of technical phonetic terms, and a bibliography 
       of works on pronunciation teaching. The text is 
       accompanied by a Companion Website with audio recordings 
       of model pronunciations and audio material relating to the
       activities
