Communicative pronunciation teaching, Coursebook analysis, Pronunciation materials, Segmentals, SupresegmentalsResumo
Despite digital advances, coursebooks remain central to language education (Modén et al., 2023), yet pronunciation is still underrepresented (Topal, 2022). This study addresses the gap in research on pronunciation content in tertiary-level EFL coursebooks. An international coursebook series was analyzed across five proficiency levels (A1–C1). The analysis focused on segmentals and suprasegmentals, alignment with Celce-Murcia et al.'s (2010) communicative framework, and adherence to pronunciation materials design principles (Levis & Sonsaat, 2016). Suprasegmentals dominated, with stress, intonation, and connected speech being common. Segmentals focused on select vowels, consonants, and symbols. Most activities emphasized discrimination and analysis and generally followed design principles. Findings suggest improved integration but highlight areas for further improvement and research.
