Abstract
The English language is known for very complex pronunciation, influencing the overall communicative competence and all four language skills. Perhaps due to the fear of this complexity, teaching pronunciation is often considered daunting and relegated to the background of teaching priorities. This literature review investigates the historical background of pronunciation instruction, updated methodological approaches, and current trends in the area. New studies deal mainly with the use of digital technologies and computer- and mobile-assisted training, Attention is also given to the rising use of artificial intelligence and augmented reality in pronunciation teaching. By linking the theoretical foundations with the empirical findings of this review, the need for continuous efforts for innovation and quality teacher training in the field of pronunciation teaching arises. It is also possible to identify a research gap in the insufficient application of neuroscience findings to pronunciation teaching practice, which calls for future research in this matter.
