{"product_id":"the-ai-assisted-ear-stephen-peridore-9798181494879","title":"The AI-assisted Ear: A Teacher's Guide to Mastering Pronunciation in the Age of AI","description":"This book provides a comprehensive, research-backed framework for modernizing pronunciation instruction in the ESL\/EFL classroom through Artificial Intelligence. It addresses the 'Cinderella problem'-where pronunciation is often neglected due to structural classroom limitations-by introducing Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Generative AI, and acoustic visualization tools. The book argues for a fundamental pedagogical shift from the 'Teacher-as-Evaluator' to the 'Teacher-as-Coach, ' leveraging technology to handle high-volume, repetitive feedback while the human instructor focuses on nuanced guidance and communicative meaning. Readers are provided with a 10-week curriculum template, specific AI prompts for material generation, and a deep dive into the 'Perception-Production' link. By integrating data-driven insights with traditional methods like jazz chants and shadowing, the author offers a pragmatic path for educators to scale individual feedback and achieve measurable gains in student intelligibility. The text balances technical instruction with ethical considerations, ensuring teachers remain the orchestrators of the new, AI-enhanced classroom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Peridore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798181494879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Stephen Peridore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49173688221951,"sku":"9798181494879","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3681274a-81e7-477b-9e27-67f016b0de42.jpg?v=1788955981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ai-assisted-ear-stephen-peridore-9798181494879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
