Transdisciplinary Intersections in Second Language Pronunciation Learning and Teaching

Abstract As we work to advance the field of second language (L2) pronunciation teaching and learning, we look to other fields that have guided advancements in the teaching of other aspects of language learning. Fields such as corpus linguistics, pragmatics, instructed second language acquisition (SLA), psycholinguistics, technology, and assessment have served to inform and shape major changes in applied linguistics, and their impacts have been eminent in the field of L2 pronunciation teaching and learning as well. In fact, the current popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated speech recognition (ASR) development have been particularly facilitative in this collaborative movement, as they offer vast opportunities in applications and practices in L2 pronunciation.
