Directions for the future of technology in pronunciation research and teaching

Abstract This paper reports on the role of technology in state-of-the-art pronunciation research and instruction, makes concrete suggestions for future developments. The point departure this contribution is that goal second language (L2) teaching should be enhanced comprehensibility intelligibility as opposed to native-likeness. Three main areas are covered here. We begin with a presentation advanced uses special focus expertise required carry out even small-scale investigations. Next, we discuss nature data research, pointing ways which work can build advances corpus crowdsourcing. Finally, consider how these insights pave way researchers developers working create research-informed, computer-assisted resources. conclude predictions
