The Pronunciation of English as a Lingua Franca

Abstract

This chapter explores the origins of the pronunciation for English as a lingua franca (ELF), before going on to detail how an ELF approach to teaching pronunciation can be put into practice. Key issues that will be dealt with in the chapter include: English is used as a native language (ENL), English is used as a second language (ESL), English is used as a foreign language (EFL), and ELF: differences in pronunciation teaching goals; variation, accent, and intelligibility; the ELF core (LFC); teaching ELF pronunciation - classroom models; teaching ELF pronunciation - classroom techniques; teaching ELF pronunciation - the learner's mother-tongue phonology; Concerns regarding the teaching of pronunciation for ELF. An ELF approach to teaching pronunciation centers around two areas: competence in the LFC and good accommodation skills, and two major teaching situations, multilingual groups and monolingual groups.
