Mark Hancock's 50 Tips for Pronunciation Teaching

This short book is my 'manifesto' on pronunciation teaching. The 50 'tips' are classified into three sections corresponding to why, what and how: 'Why' = goals and models; 'What' = phonology; 'How' = pedagogy. Here's a review by Judy Tobin from IATEFL Voices, from Robin Walker in Speak Out and from Jean Arnold in  the TESOLANZ newsletter.
