La confección de este Manual se propone introducir la enseñanza y el aprendizaje formal de la pronunciación dentro de las asignaturas de lengua inglesa de la Universidad de Cantabria. Se pretende que el alumnado adquiera una serie de conocimientos esenciales sobre fonética para así mejorar de manera sustancial las destrezas orales (speaking y listening) y de forma global su competencia lingüística en inglés. Este conocimiento básico de la lengua, particularmente a la hora de comunicar(se) de forma apropiada, será abordado a través de una serie de contenidos que recogen de forma concisa y práctica los principales elementos sobre pronunciación, incluyendo las múltiples diferencias de sonidos entre el inglés y el español. La aplicación de este Manual no se restringe a los estudios especializados (ej. al Grado de Estudios Ingleses o la Mención en Lengua Extranjera del Grado de Magisterio) sino que es transversal a cualquier asignatura que se imparta en inglés y resulta de interés para la inmersión lingüística como complemento a la instrucción académica dentro del aula.
