In the field of second language (L2) acquisition, the number of studies focusing on L2 pronunciation instruction and perceptual/production training has increased as new classroom methodologies have been proposed and new goals for L2 pronunciation have been set. This book brings together different approaches to L2 pronunciation research in the classroom or in the language laboratory. 13 chapters, written by well-known researchers focusing on a variety of first and target languages, are divided into four parts: Pronunciation development and intelligibility: implications for teaching and training studies; L2 pronunciation teaching; L2 pronunciation training: implications for the classroom; and Pronunciation in the laboratory: High Variability Phonetic Training.

Ook het debat rond normativiteit en de huidige trends in het uitspraakonderwijs worden onder de loep genomen. Aan de andere kant staan recente theoretisch-methodologische aspecten van het contrastief taalonderzoek centraal en worden er nieuwe inzichten geleverd over de onderzochte talige fenomenen
