Hartwig Eckert and William Barry The Phonetics and Phonology of English Pronunciation A Coursebook (inkl. CD-ROM mit Hörbeispielen und Übungen; für PC und Mac) Dieses neuartige Studienbuch – nach langjähriger Erprobung in Seminaren entstanden – basiert auf der Erkenntnis, daß Aussprache nicht ausschließlich ein artikulatorisches Problem, sondern eine Frage der Sensibilisierung ist. In didaktischer und anschaulicher Darstellung werden die Studierenden zu einer Entdeckungsreise in Phonetik und Kommunikation eingeladen, die das Sprachbewußtsein fördert und stets die Wirkung von Akzenten und Registern vor Ohren führt. Die Lernenden werden in Zyklen von Problemstellung, Anwendung, Theorie, Wiederholung und Verfestigung zum Ziel geführt. Insbesondere wird dabei auf die Schwierigkeiten von Lernern im deutschsprachigen Raum Rücksicht genommen. Das Coursebook bietet zahlreiche Illustrationen (Cartoons, Fotos, Tabellen, Diagramme), neue „phonetische“ Limericks, die in spielerischer Weise phonetische Phänomene veranschaulichen, phonologische Denkaufgaben sowie Hör- und Transkriptionsübungen mit Lösungen und ausführlichen Kommentaren. Das Buch eignet sich für Seminare, für sprachpraktische Kurse sowie zum Selbststudium. Da es in kleine Abschnitte gegliedert und mit einem ausführlichen Index versehen ist, kann es auch zu Zwecken der Wiederholung und der Examensvorbereitung von Problemfeldern benutzt werden.
