Foreign language teachers must be able to correct pronunciation errors that go beyond the level of the segmental phoneme. Extending a technique used with students, it was found that teachers can deal with a number of problems more efficiently if they separately consider single features or aspects of the continuum.

The specific problems involved in teaching pronunciation cannot be solved by the techniques of phonemic analysis alone. What is needed is an extension of these techniques to include the principles of textual phonetics. (CFM)

A speech visualizer which provides a student with an immediate reinforcement in the form of a visual "feedback" of his own performance is vastly superior to other methods of teaching prosodic elements of speech in a second language, according to experiments carried out at the University of Toronto.
