Recenzje

'All in all, the volume enriches our understanding of both L2 pronunciation teaching and research. … Second, this account sets out clear guidelines for researchers in the field on how to establish reliability in studies that mainly look at native versus non-native judgments of accented speech and that explore differences between native and non-native speech samples.' Sharif Alghazo, Journal of Second Language Pronunciation
