Which Pronunciation Norms and Models for English as an International Language?

Jenkins, Jennifer

ELT Journal, v52 n2 p119-26 Apr 1998

With the growth of world English, what learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) need most is not a native-like accent but ability to communicate with other non-native speakers. The role of English pronunciation, its aims within the ESL curriculum, and which norms and models are most appropriate for such instruction should be rethought. (Author/MSE)
