摘要
Though there are good reasons to improve instruction in pronunciation, the teaching of pronunciation has lost popularity among language teachers. This is because the traditional indirect analyses of sounds according to places and manners of articulation are clumsy when applied to classroom teaching. By shifting the focus of instruction to the direct feedback of real-time acoustic analysis in the visual mode, instructors are free from the complex and often unproductive terminology of articulatory phonetics, and students are free from the burden of translating instructors' general comments such as "try again" or "repeat after me" into plans for specific changes. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
