This book explores English accents and pronunciation, focusing on their connections to key issues such as intelligibility, identity, and globalization. It examines English pronunciation models—what they consist of and why they matter—while integrating sociolinguistic perspectives on global English. Using Hong Kong, “Asia’s World City,” as a case study, the book analyzes the interaction between global and local influences and the implications for teaching English pronunciation. It critically reviews approaches like World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca, assessing their contributions and limitations in the Hong Kong context. Combining quantitative and qualitative data, the book develops criteria for pronunciation models suitable for a globalized world.
