Speechcraft books have been designed for advanced non-native speakers who will interact with native speakers in academic and professional settings. These materials provide rules, learning strategies, and contextualized practice in the stress, rhythm, and melody of English words and discourse—the features of pronunciation that most affect intelligibility. Speechcraft contains 5 components of communicative competence: Linguistic, Discourse, Functional, Sociolinguistic, and Strategic.
