Abstract

In this paper the application of the techniques of Computer Assisted Language Learning to aspects of pronunciation will be considered. The problems of such application will be discussed and will be seen to be serious; some products will be described; the prospects for future applications will be viewed and will be seen to be far from bleak. Although the paper addresses the situation in The Netherlands, it is hoped that it will be relevant for practitioners in other countries.
