The publication of The Phonology of English as an International Language (Jenkins, 2000) has provided help in determining suitable models and goals for work on pronunciation. The book focuses on pronunciation for English as an international language (EIL), providing important insights into deciding priorities and methodology for EIL pronunciation work, insights that have direct implications for classroom practice. Jenkins proposes a lingua franca core (LFC), a set of pronunciation features that her empirical research suggests are essential for mutual intelligibility in communication between nonnative speakers of English.
