Abstract

As we work to advance the field of L2 pronunciation teaching and learning, we look to interdisciplinary fields that have guided advancements in the teaching of other aspects of language learning. We can see that interdisciplinary fields such as corpus linguistics, pragmatics, instructed SLA, interpersonal communication, and assessment have served to inform and shape major changes in the areas of vocabulary and grammar instruction. However, these interdisciplinary fields have engaged less with pronunciation teaching and learning and thus deserve much more attention. At the same time, since less research in these fields has focused on pronunciation teaching and learning, specialists within L2 pronunciation may be less familiar with advancements in these areas.
