ABSTRACT
This chapter revolves around computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) and recommendations for teachers on how to implement it in ways that will help L2 learner outcomes. It first reviews previous work on automatic speech recognition (ASR), visualization tools, and ultrasound imaging. The next series of topics covered are social tools, such as chat/messaging and podcasts. The practical application section of the chapter presents three sample exercises, each of which can be run multiple times in an academic term and can be adapted to any learner level: one using a visualization tool to work on Spanish rhotics, another using social tools to become more cognizant of features related to Spanish pronunciation, and a last one based on the use of podcasts. Lastly, the chapter’s Appendix contains an abundance of resources for teachers.
