REICHMANN, EBERHARD – 1967
MUCH OF THE DEFICIENCY IN PRONUNCIATION INSTRUCTION IS DUE TO EXCLUSIVE RELIANCE ON THE EAR AS A GUIDE FOR THE CORRECT RECOGNITION AND PRODUCTION OF FOREIGN SOUNDS. THE CORRECT ARTICULATION OF GERMAN DEPENDS VERY MUCH ON ANTICIPATORY ACTION OF THE LIPS AND JAWS (VOWEL ANTICIPATION), AND MUST BE IMPARTED BY VISUAL DEMONSTRATION AND IMITATION OF…

Beneke, Juergen – Praxis des Neusprachlichen Unterrichts, 1975
