Abstract
This review presents the results of three works on instruction and training in second language (L2) pronunciation teaching. Currently, the phonetic training is aimed at improving the L2 learner’s speech intelligibility. The researches were applied to speakers of different languages who were learners of either English or Mandarin as L2. The results of a series of pre-and post-training experiments indicate the efficacy of instruction and training in the L2 pronunciation teaching. The main goal of this type of practice is not only to make learners achieve phonological awareness in the target language, but also to facilitate their L2 learning process.
