Default Right or Correct - which one?

Hi,

I read the following in a book on Indian- English.

"Rapidex comes with a cassette which the preface promises will help the reader gather confidence in speaking with the right pronunciation."

My questions are:
1. Is it ok to say right pronunciation? Or should it be correct pronunciation?
2. What is the difference between right and correct in contexts like the one above? Is there a difference at all?

Could you clarify please.

Arun

Either is fine. "Right" is less formal.

I would have written it as:
